Dionys Mascolo (11 February 1916 - 20 August 1997) was a French literary editor, resistance fighter, left-wing political activist, author, and former husband of Marguerite Duras. [1] [2]
Born into a family of Italian immigrants, Mascolo worked at several small jobs when he found himself in charge of a family after his father's death. Shortly before the German occupation of France, Gaston Gallimard hired him as a publisher's reader for his publishing house Éditions Gallimard . There he met, among others, Marguerite Duras and her later husband Robert Antelme.
With them, Mascolo then founded the groupe de la rue Saint-Benoît and thus joined the Résistance under François Mitterrand using the nom du guerre Lieutenant Masse. After the liberation of France, he returned to Paris with Edgar Morin, among others. The following year, Mascolo joined the French Communist Party (PCF), but was expelled again in 1949 for his "behavior detrimental to the party".
Shortly after Marguerite Duras divorced Robert Antelme in 1947, she married Mascolo in Paris. The two had a son, Jean, in 1947 and separated again as early as 1956.
When French President René Coty nominated Charles de Gaulle as prime minister in 1958, Mascolo founded together with Jean Schuster the journal Le 14 juillet; as a mouthpiece of a strengthening Anti-Gaullism. A vehement opponent of French colonial policy, especially the Algerian War, Mascolo was among the signatories of the Manifesto of the 121 in September 1960.
As a writer, Mascolo was very much concerned with Friedrich Nietzsche and Louis Antoine de Saint-Just; he was also interested in the role of intellectuals, for example, in communism.

La Douleur is a collection of six texts by Marguerite Duras published in 1985. Two texts are invented: L'ortie brisée and Aurélia Paris. The remaining four texts are based on lived experience. In La Douleur, her husband becomes Robert L. and others also retain the names used as resistants. Monsieur X. dit ici Pierre Rabier, recounts her association with the man who arrested her husband. In Albert des Capitales and Ter le milicien, Duras becomes Thérèse and these are accounts of the immediate aftermath of Paris being liberated, where those who sold the Jews to the Gestapo, and those who served in the Vichy militia were tried by resistance groups. In Albert des Capitales, Thérèse (Duras) extorts a confession under torture of man who sold Jews to the Gestapo. Her colleagues show their disapproval and rather than the expected summary execution, she asks D. to let him walk away.
