In this, one of the last published books planned by one of the
major cultural philosophers of our time, Lyotard addresses, in his
powerful and allusive critical voice, Malraux's reflections on art
and literature. The result, more than a sequel to Lyotard's
acclaimed biography "Signe Malraux," tells us as much about Lyotard
and his critical concerns as it does about Malraux. It gives us
Lyotard's final thoughts on his long study of the critical,
disruptive possibilities of art and of the relation between
aesthetics and politics. At first glance, Lyotard's sympathetic and
generous analysis of Malraux might be surprising to some, for
Malraux's metaphysics of art seems far removed from, if not
diametrically opposed to, Lyotard's postmodern, experimental
approach. But this is perhaps the book's greatest achievement, for
Lyotard succeeds both in giving a compelling critical reading of
Malraux (and through him of an entire era of art criticism) and in
presenting, complicating, and developing his own position on art
and aesthetics.
In order to present Lyotard's exquisitely compact style in the best
possible way, the original French text appears on facing pages with
the English translation.
