Under Duras

I have always found the writing of Marguerite Duras painful. Her life is so entwined with the exquisite dissections of lives under duress that I remain in awe.

In "Moderato Cantibile" the magnolias take on a mythic proportion.

Chapeau!

The magnolias in the novella are white.

Over time, they have softened, in my mind, to pink...
