Me, and Other Writing

About this book

"A new collection of Duras's essays, translated into English for the first time... Me & Other Writing is a guidebook to the extraordinary breadth of Duras's 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."--Page 4 of cover.
