Duras biographer and former director
of the French Institute Alliance Française, Jean Vallier returns to FIAF to speak
about the life and legacy of Marguerite
Duras. In this special French-language
talk, Vallier will give fascinating insight
into his writing process and work as the
great author’s biographer.
Jean Vallier's first of two projected volumes
about Marguerite Duras is a wonderfully
detailed and accurate biography of a woman
famous for turning her own life into myth.
