It brings together some sixty short texts born from current events and everyday occurrences, written with the speed of someone doing journalism. The author confesses that she sometimes wrote «for the outside» when what was happening outside overwhelmed her, hence the personal and direct tone of these articles and chronicles.
The full title of the edition is Outside: Papiers d'un jour; the work originally appeared in 1981 and this Folio edition is from 1995. It is the first volume in the «Outside» series.
For readers of essays and French literature who want to discover the more journalistic and personal side of Marguerite Duras.
Marguerite Germaine Marie Donnadieu, known as Marguerite Duras, was a French novelist, playwright, screenwriter, essayist, and experimental filmmaker. Her script for the film Hiroshima mon amour (1959) earned her a nomination for Best Original Screenplay at the Academy Awards.
