Duras isn't even the best Marguerite, let alone a woman author worthy of praise. Marguerite Yourcenar mogs.

These are all arse. Read Iris Murdoch or Doris Lessing.

Murdoch is a bit weird. Lots of fun books, but maybe only the first two have a case to be great.

For postwar English stuff, maybe Spark is better?
