Mud and Purity: Searching for Duras
by Hu Si She
About This Novel
Duras's work is often considered obscure because of its diversity, complexity, depth, and breadth, and she herself has been misunderstood and even questioned as a result. Hu Sishe, a senior domestic scholar and Duras research expert, conducted a comprehensive interpretation of Marguerite Duras's written and non-written works, restoring to us a Duras who was both loved and misunderstood. This is a study of Duras as well as a study of French literature - Duras's life and writing bear witness to French literature throughout the twentieth century. What she brings us is not only literature, but also non-literary. She uses literature to appeal to her faith and conscience. While reading, we experience the spiritual world of Duras, and while gazing at each other with the works, we pay attention to the outside world from a distance, seek the way of life, and poetically inhabit our own world.
