This back to school season, we're bringing back some of our favorite Womanica episodes you might have missed. Today's Womanican is\xa0Marguerite Duras (1914-1996). She was a pioneer of autofiction and one of the most widely-read French writers in the postwar era. She specialized in blurring the lines between autobiography and imagination, mining her myriad of hardships for narrative gold. Her novel \u201cThe Lover\u201d reflected her experiences growing up in French Indochina and became an international bestseller.
