Description
A career-spanning collection of Marguerite Durass genre-bending essays that Kirkus calls a luminous, erudite exploration of the self and art.
In her nonfiction as well as her fiction, Marguerite Durass curiosity was endless, her intellect voracious. Within a single essay she might roam from Flaubert to the scattering of desire to the Holocaust; within the body of her essays overall, style is always evolving, subject matter shifting, as her mind pushes beyond the obvious toward ever-original ground.
Me & Other Writing is a guidebook to the extraordinary breadth of Durass nonfiction. From the stunning one-page Me to the sprawling 70-page Summer 80, there is not a piece in this collection that can be easily categorized. These are essayistic works written for their times but too virtuosic to be relegated to history, works of commentary or recollection or reportage that are also, unmistakably, works of art.
