Together with the publication of Un barrage contre le Pacifique, she begins to write the history of her childhood, which overlaps with the beginnings of cinematography. In turn, L’Éden cinéma, L’Amant and L’Amant de la Chine du Nord enable readers to discover the unusually suggestive world of childhood presented through the sequences of the most important events from Duras’s young years. In this way, readers have the opportunity to understand the complexity and multidimensionality of the author’s rich oeuvre, using various means of expression, constantly recalling childhood memories that shaped Duras. The interpenetration of two elements − autobiography and cinematography − reveals the subtleties of the Duras’s writing technique. Therefore, the tenth muse makes it possible to read the work of Duras metaphorically, allowing its intertextual reading.
