Bouleversant et obsedant

Duras, fidèle à elle même, a l'art d'écrire des phrases qui frappent en plein coeur et qu'on a l'impression de n'avoir jamais lu autre part. Le jeu de regards, de subjectivités et de mémoires qui s'entrecroisent dans ce livre est presque miraculeux. Petit ventre mou juste avant le magnifique dénouement.
