"Parages" brings together four essays by Derrida on the fictions of
Maurice Blanchot. Three of the essays--"Living On," "Title To Be
Specified," and "The Law of Genre," are by now canonical. The
fourth, ""Pa"ce Not("s")" as well as Derrida's 1986 introduction to
the French edition of the book, appear here in English for the
first time. This was a breakthrough publication in the analysis of
Blanchot, a notoriously difficult writer. It is safe to say Derrida
contributed much to that writer's reputation in both French and
English, always insisting on the philosophical pertinence of
Blanchot's work to any discussion of the relationship between
literature and critical thought. Through patient citation, and an
ample collocation and readings of Blanchot's various motifs,
Derrida explores a variety of questions, including the limits of
genre, the procedure of crossing out, and the evocation of a
non-dialectical and non-privative negativity. The book marks a
crucial stage in Derrida's itinerary and provides a context for his
later writings on apophatics in such works as "On the Name" (SUP,
1995) and his response to Heidegger on death in "Aporias" (SUP,
1993).
