For the past half century, Maurice Blanchot has been an
extraordinarily influential figure on the French literary and
cultural scene. He is arguably the key figure after Sartre in
exploring the relation between literature and philosophy.
This collection of 29 critical essays and reviews on art, politics,
literature, and philosophy documents the wide range of Blanchot's
interests, from the enigmatic paintings in the Lascaux caves to the
atomic era. Essays are devoted to works of fiction (Louis-Rene des
Forets, Pierre Klossowski, Roger Laporte, Marguerite Duras), to
autobiographies or testimonies (Michel Leiris, Robert Antelme,
Andre Gorz, Franz Kafka), or to authors who are more than ever
contemporary (Jean Paulhan, Albert Camus).
Several essays focus on questions of Judaism, as expressed in the
works of Edmond Jabes, Emmanuel Levinas, and Martin Buber. Among
the other topics covered are Andre Malraux's "imaginary museum,"
the Pleiade Encyclopedia project of Raymond Queneau, paperback
publishing, the work of Claude Levi-Strauss, Benjamin's "Task of
the Translator," Marx and communism, writings on the Holocaust, and
the difference between art and writing. The book concludes with an
eloquent invocation to friendship on the occasion of the death of
Georges Bataille.
