"Maurice Blanchot was without doubt one of the greatest Western critics of the 20th century, and his work was essential for the development of a wide range of contemporary and subsequent critics of widely different allegiances. I read most of these essays as they came out in La Nouvelle Revue Française and reading them again I am struck once more by their brilliance simply as literary criticism, by their indefatigable focus on the question of the nature of writing, and by the wide range of modern authors they discuss from Blanchot's special perspective."--J. Hillis Miller, University of California, Irvine

Summary

Featuring essays originally published in La Nouvelle Revue Francaise, this collection clearly demonstrates why Maurice Blanchot was a key figure in exploring the relation between literature and philosophy.
