'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.
