#art #history: imagine being such a gifted author that one of your most radical & inventive novels was mainly a product of automatic writing? best known, perhaps, for providing the screenplay that would become alain resnais' 'hiroshima mon amour' - which is not a bad place to start if you've not yet become acquainted with marguerite duras (born #otd in 1914) - she largely escaped acclaim outside of france. this is regrettable.

duras was a master of written dialogue, crafting it in such a way that the space between her words informed the story as much as or more than what she spelled out. as a human being, she was remarkable: during WWII, she worked for the vichy government whilst simultaneously belonging to an active french resistance cell.
