Talk:Marguerite Duras

Untitled
This seems absurdly out of place, and demeaning to the writer herself as if all that was important about her life is nothing next to a band using something from a movie based on what she wrote:

"In 1997 the popular rock band 'the Weakerthans' took their name from a line of the film adaptation of The Lover: 'Go ahead, I'm weaker than you can possibly imagine.'"

Either move it to The Lover page itself or dump it, I'd say. 66.57.225.195 04:57, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

World War II
There should be something about WWII in here, esp in relation to La Douler, if anyone knows what she actually did during the war.

MD and the Vichy government
You know, I like blindly worshiping holy cows as much as the next person, but in order to be accurate, an encyclopaedia must include ALL the relevant data. So, if Duras' one-time membership in the Communist party (which she apparently left only a few years after joining) is mentioned, then her apparent collaboration with the Vichy government should also be discussed... N'est-ce pas?

For details see her biography - or l.

Marguerite Duras
I read in a magazine, that this woman had a long affair with a Gestapo's agent, during german occupation of France, in 1940 decade.This brazilian site: [] has a photo of this french woman.Agre22 (talk) 20:42, 25 April 2009 (UTC)agre22

Answer to the three sections above.
The French WP page is very clear about those three issues, with only one source, though. If it is ok to simply translate it inside the English article, I can. NB: the two links in the sections above are unvalid. --Pierre et Condat (talk) 20:26, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

Lede OK
The tag says the lede doesn't summarise the article. It seems a perfectly adequate summary to me. Valetude (talk) 17:59, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

Apparent errors
"She also reported being beaten by both her mother during this period" - translation pleaseDelahays (talk) 20:20, 9 September 2017 (UTC)

The six paras under the sub-heading 'Youth' contain two completely different and mutually contradictory statements about her adoption of the surname "Duras". Which one is correct, and on what authority?Delahays (talk) 20:24, 9 September 2017 (UTC)

new film 'Azuro' based on 'Little Horses'
I don't know where to put this in the article, maybe someone else has a good idea how to fit it in: there's a new film in French cinemas since 30th march 2022 called 'Azuro' based on (or inspired by?) 'Little Horses'. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:3030:805:2D58:1:0:4884:D8DF (talk) 21:47, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
