Blanchot ia a clear and comprehensive introduction to one of the key figures in the development of postmodern thought. Although Blanchot's work is characterised by a fragmentary and complex style, Leslie Hill painlessly introduces the key themes in his work. He shows how Blanchot questions the very essence of philosophy and literature and how we may distinguish between them. Hill stresses the importance of Blanchot's political writings and the relationship between writing and history that characterised his later work and considers the relationship between Blanchot and key figures such as Emmanuel Levinas and Georges Bataille.
Placing Blanchot at centre stage of writing in the twentieth century, Blanchot also sheds new light on Blanchot's political activities before and after the Second World War. This accessible introduction to Blanchot's thought also includes one of the most comprehensive bibliographies of his writings to have appeared in the last twenty years.
