<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Maurice Blanchot is arguably the key figure after Sartre in exploring the relation between literature and philosophy. Blanchot developed a distinctive, limpid form of essay writing; these essays, in form and substance, left their imprint on the work of the most influential French theorists. The writings of Barthes, Foucault, and Derrida are unimaginable without Blanchot.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>"A signal event for literary and cultural studies in the English-speaking world. As crucial essays on individual authors, as a major work of literary theory, as an important means of access to the 1940s in French culture, as an exemplary work combining reading and theory--it is of great importance to us today."--J. Hillis Miller, University of California, Irvine<br>"This collection of essays and reviews from the 1940s is about the 'fiery part' of literary language that burns through the aesthetic illusions and the easy referentiality of everyday language. . . . This collection is indepensable to any attempt to understand the years between Heidegger/Benjamin and Derrida/Man."--Choice<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>A signal event for literary and cultural studies in the English-speaking world.
