« Au début, c’était difficile. Je pensais que c’était injuste qu’il crie contre moi. Que ce n’était pas bien. Et quand j’écrivais et que je le voyais arriver et que je savais qu’il allait crier, je ne pouvais plus écrire, ou plutôt l’écriture cessait partout. Il n’y avait plus rien à écrire du tout, et j’écrivais – des phrases, des mots, des dessins – pour faire croire que je n’entendais pas qu’on criait. »
Un texte court et tardif (paru en 1986) dédié à Yann Andréa dans lequel Marguerite Duras fait allusion à la relation orageuse qu'elle entretenait avec ce jeune homme mystérieux dont les humeurs tempétueuses et imprévisibles semblaient la désarçonner et entraver son travail d'écriture.

Marguerite Duras was born in Gia-Dinh, Indochina on April 4, 1914. After attending school in Saigon, she moved to Paris, France to study law and political science. After graduation, she worked as a secretary in the French Ministry of the Colonies until 1941. During World War II, she joined the Resistance and published her first books. After the show more liberation, she became a member of the French Communist Party, and though she later resigned, she always described herself as a Marxist. Her first book, Les Impudents, was published in 1943. During her lifetime, she wrote more than 70 novels, plays, screenplays and adaptations. Her novels include The Sea Wall, The Lover, The Lover from Northern China, The War, and That's All. In 1959, she wrote her first film scenario, Hiroshima, Mon Amour, and has since been involved in a number of other films, including India Song, Baxter, Vera Baxter, Le Camion (The Truck), and The Lover.
