"Blanchot describes a world where the Absolute has finally overcome
all other rivals to its authority. The State is unified, universal,
and homogenous, promising perfect satisfaction. Why then does it
find revolt everywhere? Could it be the omnipresent police? The
plagues? The proliferating prisons and black markets? Written in
part as a description of post-World War II Europe, Blanchot's
dystopia charts with terrible clarity the endless death of god in
an era of constantly metamorphosing but strangely definitive
ideologies."-Translation Review Maurice Blanchot has been for a
half century one of France's leading authors of fiction and theory.
Two of his most ambitious works, The Space of Literature and The
Writing of the Disaster, are also available in Bison Books
editions. Allan Stoekl is the author of On Bataille and Agonies of
the Intellectual: Commitment, Subjectivity, and the Performative in
the Twentieth-Century French Tradition (Nebraska 1992).
