it's kat! 🇵🇸✊<p>duras was a master of written&nbsp; dialogue, crafting it in such a way that the space between her words&nbsp; informed the story as much as or more than what she spelled out. as a&nbsp; human being, she was remarkable: during WWII, she worked for the vichy&nbsp; government whilst simultaneously belonging to an active french&nbsp;resistance cell. <br><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/margueriteDuras" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>margueriteDuras</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/frenchResistance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>frenchResistance</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>art</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/sketch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sketch</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/author" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>author</span></a></p>
