"Sex, and death. All of Marguerite Duras's writings are suffused with the certitude that absolute love is both necessary (sex) and impossible to achieve (death). But no book of hers embodies this idea so powerfully, so excessively, as No More (C'est Tout), the book she composed during the last year of her life until just days before her death. No More (C'est Tout) is literature shorn of all its niceties, a shout from the depths of Duras's being, celebrating life in defiance of the death she knew had already entered her immediate future. In part, it is also Duras' raucous salutation welcoming death. No More is a collection as pure as poetry and her words and ideas recirculate in hypnotic fits of lucidity, desperation, and noise, but the overall effect is both unsettling and, at times, piercingly true"--

'One of the 20th century's greatest thinkers and prose stylists' New York Times'A novel of the disquieting contours of family, and of the mind, and of life unceasing even in the midst of death by one of the most important, visionary writers of all time' Amina Cain, author of Indelicacy WITH A FOREWORD BY KATE ZAMBRENOThere's nothing to do about boredom, I'm bored, but one day I won't be bored anymore. Soon I'll know that it's not even worth the trouble. We'll have the easy life.Twenty-five-year-old Francine Veyrenattes, confined to the family farm, already feels that life is passing her by. But after Francine lets slip a terrible secret, culminating in the violent deaths of her brother and uncle, her world is shattered. Fleeing the farm for the seaside, Francine finds herself disintegrating. Lying in the sun with her toes in the sand, she restlessly wishes for things to be somehow easier, to have a life worth living. But then the calm and quiet is broken yet again - by another tragedy and a senseless death, in which Francine finds herself implicated. Cast out of paradise, and stranded between her home and the rest of the world, she must confront her rapidly dissolving sense of self if she is to find a way to survive.'It's a masterpiece, and a little known, if not unknown, masterpiece . Any serious reader of this author's work must begin with this novel' YVES BERGER

Marguerite Duras was one of the leading intellectuals and novelist of post-war France, but her wartime writings were not published in full until after her death.

«Filmene jeg lager, lager jeg på det samme stedet som bøkene mine. Det er det jeg kaller lidenskapens sted. Der hvor man er stum og blind. Eller, jeg prøver å være der så mye som mulig» I denne boka snakker Marguerite Duras om steder som har vært viktige for henne: steder i livet, i barndom og voksenliv, men også steder i fiksjonen, i bøkene og filmene. Samtalen med dokumentarfilmskaper og regissør Michelle Porte ble sendt på fransk tv i 1976 og ble siden skrevet ut som bok. Det gjør at teksten bærer preg av det muntlige, av øyeblikket, av det som oppsto i møtet mellom de to samtalende. De befinner seg et sted mens de snakker. Og sammen ser de på fotografier av steder som har betydd noe for Duras. Sånn blir denne boka en dialog om å være i dialog med sitt stoff, sitt indre, verden der ute og andre mennesker. Og sånn åpner den også forståelsen av hva skriving er, og av hva det vil si å skape. Med forord av Hanne Ørstavik.

17-årige Suzanne og broren Joseph, bor sammen med moren, som er enke. For sparepengene sine har moren kjøpt noe som viser seg å være et ufruktbart landområde i Vietnam, der Stillehavet hvert år flommer inn og ødelegger avlingen. Moren, gammel, men sterk og sta, får i gang byggingen av en demning, men naturen er sterkere enn henne. Hun prøver derfor å redde familien ved å gifte bort datteren. Den rike, fremmede herr Jo, og ikke minst diamantene hans, er kanskje redningen?

En kjærlighetshistorie om en ung fransk skolepike på 15 1/2 som på fergen over Mekongfloden i Indokina møter en ung, stenrik kineser. Han forelsker seg i henne, og hun blir uten videre hans elskerinne. Forholdet vekker skandale i kolonien, hvor den unge piken nærmest blir betraktet som en prostituert og utstøtt av det gode selskap. Elskerens far vil heller se sønnen død enn gift med den hvite horen.

The Darkroom contains the script for Marguerite Duras'' 1977 radically experimental film Le camion (The Truck), as well as four manifesto-like propositions in which Duras protests that most movies "beat the imagination to death" because they "are the same every time they are played." She also accuses the gatekeepers of traditional cinema of treating intelligence as if it were a "class phenomenon" and distinguishes her own approach: a cinema based on ideas and sensory experience. In the dialogue with Michelle Porte at the end of the book, Duras further describes her filmmaking style, discussing everything from her biography to her critique of Marxism.Translated by Alta Ifland & Eireene Nealand, and featuring an introduction by Jean-Luc Nancy.

Understated and impressionistic, and consisting almost entirely of dialogue, The Garden Square is one of Marguerite Duras's finest novels, which she also adapted to the stage.

A distressed young man murders the woman he loves in a café, watched by a large crowd. Fascinated by the crime she has witnessed, Anne Desbaresdes returns several times to the scene, forming a relationship with a man who also saw the murder, and drinking through the afternoon with him as he patiently answers her eager questions. Slowly, they find themselves being taken over by forces which threaten their own stability.Moderato Cantabile is a carefully woven tapestry of emotion, in which the characters' inner lives are reflected by the story's spaces and landscapes.
