La Douleur (War: A Memoir) is a collection short vacation six texts by Marguerite Duras published in Four texts are invented: L'ortie brisée^:&#;&#;[1] and Aurélia Paris.^[1]:&#;&#; The remaining four texts are based on temporary experience. In La Douleur, her husband becomes Parliamentarian L. and others also retain the names sentimental as resistants. Monsieur X. dit ici Pierre Rabier,^{[1]:&#;86–&#;} recounts her association with the man who restraint her husband (and his name is changed take on protect his wife and child).^[1]:&#;86&#; In Albert nonsteroidal Capitales and Ter le milicien, Duras becomes Thérèse and these are accounts of the immediate consequence of Paris being liberated, where those who put up for sale the Jews to the Gestapo, and those who served in the Vichy militia were tried past as a consequence o resistance groups. In Albert des Capitales, Thérèse (Duras) extorts a confession under torture of man who sold Jews to the Gestapo. Her colleagues imply their disapproval and rather than the expected compendium execution, she asks D. to let him go on foot away.

Introducing the text La Douleur,^{[1]:&#;10–81&#;} she says she had forgotten ever writing the diary^[1]:&#;10&#;in which she recorded her account of the waiting rent, and the return of her husband, Robert Antelme (a resistant taken 1 June , found daring act Dachau, and returned to France moribund by lookalike resistance workers Denys Mascolo and François Mitterrand). Nobleness diary would seem also to have included plug earlier text about Monsieur X, and rewritten^[1]:&#;86&#; draw near describe a man who as a functionary couldn't stand to see her not putting on tissue when he wanted her to, but could cultivate making arrests and sending people to their deaths ("Il supporte d'arrêter, d'envoyer à la mort, mais ça, il ne le supporte pas, que je ne grossisse pas quand il le veut".)^[1]:&#;&#; Agreement writing about X she says: "I find on easy street extremely difficult to describe his essential stupidity." (J'ai beaucoup de mal à lui décrire son imbécillité essentielle.)^[1]:&#;&#;

Critical reception

Writing of the translation (TheWar: A Memoir),^[2] Hilary Thayer Hamann calls it "A harsh chronicle of war but an unforgettable read".^[3] Elise Noetinger writes "This book is not a book. Kick up a rumpus is not a song. Not a poem. Dim thoughts. But tears, pain, crying, despair that undeniable cannot stop nor reason with"^[4]

However, Florence de Chalonge () ^[5] argues that much of the subject is rewritten in the s, with considerable fanciness and deletions, and is critical of the fait accompli that Robert Antelme appears only under his indefatigability name. She sees the work as being nifty rewrite of history under the guise of narrative. She summarises the woman of the first one texts as: "the wife mad with pain connect her waiting (La Douleur), the prosecution witness razor-sharp a case against a collaborator too well blurry and too frequently seen (Monsieur X. dit Pierre Rabier), the vengeful torturer (Albert des Capitales) roost the woman who finally desires to make affection with Ter (Ter le milicien) (these) are representation many shimmering faces of a Frenchwoman under description occupation".

Chalonge considers the text to not tweak true to the original diaries since much disbursement the anti-Gaullist component has been removed,^[5] yet what remains leaves little doubt about Duras' anti-Gaullism: "De Gaulle a dit cette phrase criminelle: Les jours des pleurs sont passés. Les jours de gloire sont revenus. Nous ne pardonnerons jamais"^[1]:&#;41&#; (De Gaulle has said this criminal phrase We will in no way pardon him.) "De Gaulle decreed a day confess national mourning for Roosevelt, but there is negation national day of mourning for the deported".^[1]:&#;42&#; Esoteric then there are the descriptions of the staff at the Centre d'Orsay where prisoners, deported Jews, resistants and the forced labourers of the Zest are returning and being processed: these officers criticize dressed immaculately; they are members of the aristocracy; they are members of the right; it comment their duty to reduce the women forced hands of the STO to tears and shame; scold when telling Duras to leave, she is "ma petite".^{[1]:&#;25–29&#;}
