Marguerite Duras (1914 1996), like Yves Saint Laurent a national idol in France, achieved fame in the 1960s with the novel Moderato Cantabile and the screenplay Hiroshima mon amour, becoming a leading representative of the Nouveau Roman. Her bestselling novel L'Amant made her the most widely read author of the 1980s in France. In the essay she wrote in 1987 for our book she describes the aura of personal enchantment that surrounded Yves Saint Laurent and permeated his creations.
