[edit]

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)[reply]

World War II

[edit]

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

[edit]

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 [1]l.


Marguerite Duras

[edit]

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: [[2]] has a photo of this french woman.Agre22 (talk) 20:42, 25 April 2009 (UTC)agre22[reply]

Answer to the three sections above.

[edit]

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)[reply]

Lede OK

[edit]

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)[reply]


Apparent errors

[edit]

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

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)[reply]

new film 'Azuro' based on 'Little Horses'

[edit]

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)[reply]
