Maurice Blanchot, in his "rcits" and essays alike, attends to "the haunting presence of a language that brings language itself into question as it searches the borders of what can be said in its time." (from the Foreword) Resolutely exploratory, refusing the modes of explanation and lyric complacency, and resolutely astute, letting no one, least of all the writer, off the hook of fiercely committed language in a difficult world, Blanchot's writing is, in Susan Sontag's phrase, "unimpeachably major." "Blanchot's power as a writer pierces, like a look that is too direct, the indeterminate prose, and makes all relations, and especially our relation to time, absolutely precarious." (-Geoffrey Hartman) This book is the only collection in English of Blanchot's mature fiction, and includes, as well as a reprint of seven of Blanchot's Station Hill books, a selection of literary/philosophical writings drawn from five of his most important works. 178692 9 1998 The Station Hill Blanchot Reader total:34|5:0|4:1|3:0|2:0|1:0| 34 147 53 2 3 0 false false Tue May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sat Sep 29 03:51:41 -0700 2007 Sat Sep 29 04:00:22 -0700 2007 more...]]> 0 0 false false Mon Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Sep 15 22:37:12 -0700 2008 Mon Sep 22 20:54:20 -0700 2008 more...]]> 0 0 false false Wed Nov 25 08:33:13 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 25 08:33:13 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Fri Oct 30 12:29:48 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 30 12:29:48 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Wed Sep 30 13:40:38 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 30 13:40:53 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sun Sep 27 14:38:33 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 27 14:38:33 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Jul 25 08:01:36 -0700 2009 Sat Jul 25 08:01:36 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun May 17 10:44:57 -0700 2009 Sun May 17 10:44:57 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Thu May 14 19:02:50 -0700 2009 Thu May 14 19:02:50 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sun May 10 19:16:02 -0700 2009 Sun May 10 19:16:02 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed May 06 10:39:44 -0700 2009 Wed May 06 10:39:44 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Apr 17 06:55:47 -0700 2009 Fri Apr 17 06:55:47 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Mon Apr 06 08:23:07 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 06 08:23:07 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed Apr 01 17:03:13 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 01 17:03:19 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Mar 25 19:51:43 -0700 2009 Wed Mar 25 19:52:05 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Mon Feb 23 08:14:48 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 23 08:14:48 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Tue Feb 17 14:41:58 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 17 14:42:05 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jan 18 19:29:25 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 18 19:29:25 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Tue Dec 16 18:55:12 -0800 2008 Tue Dec 16 18:55:12 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Sat Nov 22 23:46:02 -0800 2008 Sat Nov 22 23:46:02 -0800 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=184878
