| Item Description: | Note from Marshall Love: "This all began inside the pages of a Marguerite Duras novel. I was intoxicated; it seemed she knew all of the things I wanted to think about: I wanted to write a thesis on desire in her books. I began reading criticism on her work--lots of it. the more I read, though, the less enchanting the whole idea of a critical thesis became. In my mind, she defies that kind of analysis. Even the idea of 'analysis' may be wrong in approaching Duras. She makes me think about the writer writing. She makes me think about the whole process of creating, and about desire, filling the empty--skin. She takes me out of the phenomonological and into interiors. The private world of the body." |
