Title: C'est tout
First published: 1995
Description: Sex and death. All of Marguerite Duras's writings are suffused with the certitude that absolute love is both necessary (sex) ... and impossible to achieve (death). But no book of hers embodies this idea so powerfully, so excessively, as No More (C'est Tout), the book she composed during the last year of her life up until just days before her death.

No More is "pure" literature shorn of all its niceties, a shout from the depths of Duras's being, celebrating life in defiance of the death she knew had already entered her.
Subjects: Life, Fiction, Continental european fiction (fictional works by one author)
