Marguerite Duras and Charles Bukowski were each dramatically shaped
by their early life experiences, established in the environment of
a dysfunctional family. From their early negative exposure and
emotional indoctrination to life, Duras and Bukowski each developed
as individuals who, at a young age, acted out behavior that was in
direct conflict with the commonly accepted standard of their
individual societal norms. From the moment these authors made the
adolescent choices that they did, the rest of their physical and
emotional existence was ultimately defined. What was created was a
body of literary work that truly came to shape modern erotic
literature.
