Hello Sigrun, this isn’t a reply to your Marguerite Duras post, but I would be very glad if I might ask you a question about Edvard Munch, about who I’m translating some essays for an exhibition catalogue, and I don’t know how else I might get in contact with you. I really hope you don’t mind being contacted for this purpose, and if so, it would be great if you could send me a short e-mail to make a contact beyond your blog. Thank you. Andrea
I have a very soft spot for Duras who was one half of my PhD. She was fearless and determined when it came to expressing her own, very original voice. I wish I had the same sort of unswerving inner compass for creativity that she did.
I got these lines from a friend. She is an artist, a photographer, she has first hand understanding of what it will say to find one’s own voice. And she also knows how much I struggle to get there – in a position where I can test my own writing.
My work as a teacher and a critic I know I can manage, writing my own text is totally different. This might not be a success at all, and, to be honest, I think my greatest hindering right now is that I’m afraid to find out – .
And on top of it all, turning 44 makes me feel I’m running out of time …
