”Thirty years ago, I was invited to write my very first review for the TLS. One thing at least I got right, when I wrote: ‘Marguerite Duras is a writer whose next move only the foolhardy would predict’. And this is just as well, since what I entirely omitted to note was that the wonderful work under review, L’Amant, which signalled Duras’s return to narrative after more than a decade of work in film, had in it the potential to take a moderately well-known writer, admired by a loyal cult of followers, and turn her into an international literary superstar.”
Citerat ur ”Marguerite Duras at 100” av Dan Gunn i Times Literary Supplement. Gunn tar i denna nästan essälånga text sin utgångspunkt i minnena av när han för 30 år sedan recenserade L’Amant/Älskaren och går också igenom rader av nya utgåvor av hennes böcker och böcker om henne på franska.
Laure Adlers biografi finns även på engelska, utgiven av University of Chicago Press.
