Practicalities

<p>"It's the women who upset the applecart. Between themselves they talk only about the practicalities of life," declares Duras in this collection of her transcribed conversations with friend Jerome Beaujour. Some of her free-ranging meditations are short and deceptively simple, while many are autobiographical and reveal her most intimate thoughts about motherhood, her struggle with alcohol, her love for a young man, and more.</p>

« Qu''est-ce que ça veut dire, moderato cantabile ?- Je ne sais pas. »Une leçon de piano, un enfant obstiné, une mère aimante, pas de plus simple expression de la vie tranquille d''une ville de province. Mais un cri soudain vient déchirer la trame, révélant sous la retenue de ce récit d''apparence classique une tension qui va croissant dans le silence jusqu''au paroxysme final.« Quand même, dit Anne Desbarèdes, tu pourrais t''en souvenir une fois pour toutes. Moderato, ça veut dire modéré, et cantabile, ça veut dire chantant, c''est facile. »Paru en 1958, ce roman de Marguerite Duras a été traduit dans le monde entier.
