Wartime Notes and Others
About This Novel
The original version of the lover's story, the original version of "The Dam Against the Pacific", the long wait and the husband returning from the concentration camp, the dead child, the concierge's wife's disobedience... And childhood and mother, eternal childhood and mother. The main part of the book consists of four notebooks written by Duras between 1943 and 1949. Although Duras inscribed "War Notes" on the envelopes containing these four notebooks, the scope of their descriptions goes beyond the war. In some of these autobiographical narratives, Duras refers to key periods in her life, particularly her childhood in Indochina. There are also drafts of some later novels, such as "The Barrier Against the Pacific", "The Sailor of Gibraltar", "Mrs. Dowdan", etc., As well as the story blueprint for the novel "Pain" published in 1985. This book also includes ten other texts from the same period, which completes the image of the writer in his early years. At that time, Duras's imaginary world had just been established.
