🦋 Esta suerte de catarsis de la que nos habla Marguerite Durás en una entrevista que hizo años antes de morir tiene mucho sentido y, al mismo tiempo, nos plantea una reflexión filosófica que quizá nos haga explotar la cabeza.

🎡 Y es que, quizá, un suceso no solo puede ocurrir más de una vez, sino que lo puede hacer, contenido en un libro, cientos, miles... Lo que si es cierto es que (y esta es mi opinión) ese suceso nunca es exactamente igual porque está sujeto por las circunstancias del momento en el que ese suceso llega a nosotros.

🧩 Nuestras emociones, sentimientos, experiencia, estado de relajación, ruido externo, ruido interno... todas esas cosas y más pueden influir en el modo en que procesamos la información de esa lectura y puede que incluso nos llegue a medias o tergiversada, modulada también por la vida que llevamos a las espaldas.

🌬 Y esto lo saben bien quienes han leído un libro con una edad y, años más tarde, lo releen y les parece que es otro libro o que ha adquirido una nueva dimensión. Sencillamente es que no somos los mismos de entonces y, por tanto, nuestra percepción del mundo tampoco lo es, ha cambiado.

📖 Los libros, tanto para quienes los leen como para quienes los escriben, tienen un poder catártico y, a veces, terapéutico. Y hay en ellos, sea del modo que sea, la chispa de un milagro.

Feliz martes. 😉🖖

Film of the day: VOUS NE DÉSIREZ QUE MOI (I WANT TO TALK ABOUT DURAS, dir Claire Simon, 2021) All about her: fascinating “reenactment” of an actual interview between Duras’ last partner and a journalist friend, where the writer’s presence can be felt at all times as if by magic, while cleverly eroding the borders between documentary and fiction. #drama #documentary #fiction #literature #frenchliterature #MargueriteDuras #IndiaSong

3/3
simultaneously belonging to an active french resistance cell (the one that included francois mitterand, of course). it was during that same decade that she joined the french communist party, the PCF. no wonder the main theme of the novel to which i alluded at the start ('abahn sabana david') is the art of refusal & the freedom of a defiant 'NO!'

2/3
which is not a bad place to start if you've not yet become infected with a madness for marguerite duras (born #otd in 1914) - she largely escaped acclaim outside of france. this is regrettable. duras was a master of written dialogue, crafting it in such a way that the space between her words informed the story as much as or more than what she spelled out. as a human being, she was remarkable: during WWII, she worked for the vichy government whilst...

(wee thread about marguerite duras)
#art #history: can you imagine being such a gifted author that one of your most radical & inventive novels was practically a product of automatic writing? best known, perhaps, for providing the screenplay that would become alain resnais' 'hiroshima mon amour'...(cont.)

Le Navire Night (FR)
Each night in Paris, hundreds of men and women anonymously use telephone lines that date from the German Occupation and are no longer listed to talk to each other, to love each other. These people, shipwrecked lovers, are dying to love, to escape the abyss of solitude.
