PARTISAN REVIEW
covering the real stuff. But Duras, now, is an important writer. She
writes in many different voices and modes, and I take all of them
seriously, including the political, which I believe ill thought-out, and
at times appalling.
It
is precisely because I accept her urgency, and
her literary skill, that I feel it is so important also to say, look here, at
times , this or that is wrong, immoral or utter nonsense.
