Duras, Writing, and the Ethical - Crowley, Martin (University Lecturer in French, and Fellow, University Lecturer in French, and Fellow, Queens' College, Cambridge)

This is a major new account of the work of one of France's most significant authors. Subjecting Duras's entire written oeuvre to an unprecedented level of close reading, it demonstrates the vital presence of ethical questions in her work, and develops an important new model of the relation between writing and our ethical life.
