One of the most famous living French writers, Marguerite Duras is
renowned for her provocative and hauntingly beautiful works of
fiction, drama, and cinema. This book offers the first
comprehensive study of the narrative and stylistic characteristics
of Duras's fiction. Susan D. Cohen examines the entire range of
Duras's works, combining close textual analyses with a more general
discussion of narrativity and its connections with gender, class,
and race. The focus throughout is on language, representation, and
difference, which Duras explores on every structural level. Cohen
shows how Duras's writings, even the controversial ""erotic""
works, expose and subvert the repression of women in traditional,
dominant discourse and at the same time present an alternative,
nonrepressive discursive model. She formulates a concept of
creative ""ignorance,"" which she identifies as the generative
principle of Duras's textual production and the approach to
language it proposes. Cohen also explores the distinctive features
of Duras's prose, describing how the writer achieves the ritual,
legendary aura that characterizes her work.
