Moderato Cantabile
Moderato Cantabile | Marguerite Duras
3 posts | 6 read | 8 to read
A distressed young man murders the woman he loves in a caf?, watched by a large crowd. Fascinated by the crime she has witnessed, Anne Desbaresdes returns several times to the scene, forming a relationship with a man who also saw the murder, and drinking through the afternoon with him as he patiently answers her eager questions. Slowly, they find themselves being taken over by forces which threaten their own stability.Moderato Cantabile is a carefully woven tapestry of emotion, in which the characters' inner lives are reflected by the story's spaces and landscapes.

A section of my bookshelf that is #white by accident. Folio editions tend to come that way. #colormepretty @Sweetkokoro

tournevis Looks like my shelves tbh! 😘 5y
Lcsmcat @tournevis I don‘t arrange them by color, but I do separate them by language, so it happened. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 5y
Izai.Amorim Nietzsche in French! Mon dieu! 5y
Lcsmcat @Izai.Amorim Nietzsche intimidates me no matter what language it‘s in, so I might as well read him in French. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 5y
Izai.Amorim @Lcsmcat I liked him a lot . He has attitude. I read his complete work decades ago. Might have another go sometime. 5y

This was like a masterclass in meaningful, brief writing. I hope this is used in every creative writing class ever. The dialogue particularly was just breathtaking. I wish so badly I could read the original french as I think it would be so fascinating, but the translation was great too.

Next time I‘m buying books I‘ll definitely need to get my hands on more Marguerite Duras!

11/50 of my owned tbr project

Many of my Folio editions are #white. #readingresolutions @Jess7

ephemeralwaltz I was in France a few weeks ago and couldn't help but notice how many book editions were white!! 😱 6y
Lcsmcat @ephemeralwaltz My older Livre de Poche editions are colorful, but Folio paperbacks seem to prefer white. 6y
ephemeralwaltz By the way, you've reminded me that Marguerite Duras has been on my TBR for too long! 6y
