During the last half of the twentieth century in France, Maurice
Blanchot was a key figure in exploring the relation between
literature and philosophy. He developed early on a distinctive,
limpid form of essay writing, and his essays, in form and
substance, left their unmistakable imprint on the work of the most
distinguished French theorists. The writings of Barthes, Foucault,
and Derrida, for example, are hardly imaginable without Blanchot.
"The Book to Come" gathers together essays originally published in
"La Nouvelle Revue Francaise"; almost all of them appear in English
for the first time. Not a random collection of essays, this book is
organized into four sections: "the secret of literature";
literature as exigence and as meaning; literature and the novel;
and the future of writing and of the book. The authors discussed
constitute a veritable repertoire: Rousseau, Proust, Artaud, Brach,
Musil, James, Beckett, Bataille, Mallarme, Joubert, and Claudel,
among others.
