Writing in fragments is often held to be one of the most
distinctive signature effects of Romantic, modern, and postmodern
literature. But what is the fragment, and what may be said to be
its literary, philosophical, and political significance? Few
writers have explored these questions with such probing radicality
and rigorous tenacity as the French writer and thinker Maurice
Blanchot.
For the first time in any language, this book explores in detail
Blanchot's own writing in fragments in order to understand the
stakes of the fragmentary within philosophical and literary
modernity. It attends in detail to each of Blanchot's fragmentary
works "(Awaiting Forgetting, The Step Not Beyond," and" The Writing
of the Disaster") and reconstructs Blanchot's radical critical
engagement with the philosophical and literary tradition, in
particular with Hegel, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Heraclitus, Levinas,
Derrida, Nancy, Mallarme, Char, and others, and assesses Blanchot's
account of politics, Jewish thought, and the Shoah, with a view to
understanding the stakes of fragmentary writing in Blanchot and
within philosophical and literary modernity in general.
