Détruire, dit-elle par Marguerite Duras (Fr.)

Paris. Les Éditions Minuit; Christian Bourgois & Dominique de Roux. 1972 (1969). Softcover in protective sleeve. Book Condition: Near Fine, some discoloration and foxing to pages and shelf wear over time. 126pp. Cover by Pierre Bernard. This copy of Duras’ dark, blackbox kind of novel is a paperback edition of the famous work that would be turned to a film the same year as its publication. It is the writer’s staging of a confrontation with the ambivalence of an age Duras wanted to remain vigilant against, calling on her audience to challenge the bourgeois ideologies and power structures so they may be changed.[English title: "Destroy, she said"]Text in French.
