Practicalities

By Duras, Marguerite|Bray, Barbara
Practicalities
"It's the women who upset the applecart. Between themselves they talk only about the practicalities of life", declares Duras in this collection of her transcribed conversations with friend Jerome Beaujour. Some of her free-ranging meditations are short and deceptively simple, while many are autobiographical and reveal her most intimate thoughts about motherhood, her struggle with alcohol, her love for a young man, and more.

Strand Notes

A collection of transcribed conversations between Duras and her friend Jerome Beaujour. The author's free-ranging meditations defy easy categorization. Some are very short and deceptively simple; many are autobiographical and reveal Duras's most intimate thoughts about such subjects as motherhood, her past, her struggle with alcohol, and her love for a young gay man and his for her. Her descriptionsof the people and places that inspired her writing read like episodes taken from her novels. 143p.
