In this ravishing tale of sexual and textual obsession, the young
unnamed narrator sets forth from Cambridge on a quest. He is to
rescue the subject of his doctoral research, Paul Michel, the
brilliant but mad writer, from incarceration in a mental
institution in France. What ensues is a drama of terrible intimacy
and tenderness played out one hot and humid summer in Paris and in
the south of France. "Hallucinating Foucault" is a literary
thriller that explores with consummate mastery the passionate
relationship between reader and writer, between the factual and the
fictional, between sanity and madness. In blurring these
boundaries, Patricia Duncker has written a novel of astonishing
power and beauty.
