This essay offers a reading of three works of Marguerite Duras : Le Vice-consul (1966), Détruire dit-elle (1969) and India Song (1973). It explores some “eating disorders” that are involved in the itinerary of three feminine protagonists. This essay will attempt to explore the role of the language in the very core of the distress and its links with the narrative construction of the bodies. This demonstration will be done by analysing the thin bodies that symbolise the subject’s will to disappear in a place where no pain lies.
