Marguerite Duras Prize

On October 10, 2009, Laurent Terzieff received the 8th Marguerite Duras prize from the hands of Pierre Bergé. On this date, the prize was bestowed for the first time in its history at Trouville-sur-Mer, where it has since relocated.

The Marguerite Duras Prize is organized around three areas: literature, theater and film, in all of which Ms.Duras herself excelled.
