'You're 82 years old. You've shrunk six centimetres, you only weigh
45 kilos yet you're still beautiful, graceful and desirable'
? so begins Andre Gorz's 'open love letter' to the woman
he has lived with for 58 years and who lies dying next to him.
As one of France's leading post-war philosophers, Andre
Gorz wrote many influential books, but nothing he wrote will be
read as widely or remembered as long as this simple, passionate,
beautiful letter to his dying wife.
In a bittersweet postscript a year after Letter to D was
published, a note pinned to the door for the cleaning lady marked
the final chapter in an extraordinary love story. Andre Gorz
and his terminally ill wife, Dorine, were found lying peacefully
side by side, having taken their lives together. They simply could
not live without one another.
An international bestseller, Letter to D is the ultimate
love story ? and all the more poignant because it's true.
