Writing (s)

Writing(s) Claire-Louise Bennett , Marguerite Duras, Dorothy Spencer ‘The book, what it contains, the way it behaves, it’s shape, sensibility, and so on, is, I believe profoundly female,’ I wrote, eventually, in response. How We Spend Our Days by Claire-Louise Bennett, and Five Minutes Peace by Dorothy Spencer, accompany Marguerite Duras’ seminal essay Writing (tr. Mark Polizzotti), a meditation on writing and one of her last works (originally published in French in 1993, one of five essays in Écrire).
