¿Martini?

Creo que Duras es una de aquellas escritoras como Anais Nin (preferiblemente con sus diarios) o Sylvia Palth, con la "sharpiada" inteligencia de lograr que sus historias personales se conviertan también en las historias del lector. Mujeres que analizan la vida, la desgarran y luego operan de nuevo para reparar los tejidos abiertos. Este libro son varias historias sobre varios temas. Son cortas y intensamente deliciciosas de leer. I do believe Duras is one of those writters like Anais Nin or Sylvia Plath, with a sharp intelligence of achiving the task of transforming their own stories into stories also for the reader. Women analizing life, to rip it and then been able to repair the open wounds. This books is about many stories of many topics. The stories are short and intensly delicious to read.
