'You're 82 years old. You've shrunk six centimetres, you only weigh
45 kilos yet you're still beautiful, graceful and desirable' - so
begins Andre Gorz's 'open love letter' to the woman he has lived
with for 58 years and who lies dying next to him. As one of
France's leading post-war philosophers, Andre Gorz wrote many
influential books, but nothing he wrote will be read as widely or
remembered as long as this simple, passionate, beautiful letter to
his dying wife. In a bittersweet postscript a year after Letter to
D was published, a note pinned to the door for the cleaning lady
marked the final chapter in an extraordinary love story. Andre Gorz
and his terminally ill wife, Dorine, were found lying peacefully
side by side, having taken their lives together. They simply could
not live without one another. An international bestseller, Letter
to D is the ultimate love story - and all the more poignant because
it's true.
