  | | When the Time Comes(1st Edition) by Professor Maurice Blanchot, Lydia Davis Paperback, 74 Pages, Published 1985 by Station Hill Pr ISBN-13: 978-0-930794-95-8, ISBN: 0-930794-95-8 "WHEN THE TIME COMES ostensibly chronicles the troubled relations between the narrator - a very ill man - and the two women whose lives he invades. As in all of Blanchot s intensely subjective fiction, the true subject of the work is the narrator s consciousness and the process by which his tale emerges through its telling. Powerfully affected by the slightest of events, the narrator responds with a violence that, most disturbingly, appe ..." |
 | | A Voice from Elsewhere (SUNY series, Insinuations: Philosophy, Psychoanalysis, Literature) by Professor Maurice Blanchot, Charlotte Mandell Paperback, 158 Pages, Published 2007 by State University Of New York Press ISBN-13: 978-0-7914-7016-9, ISBN: 0-7914-7016-4 "Reflections on the enigma and secret of “literature.”A Voice from Elsewhere represents one of Maurice Blanchot’s most important reflections on the enigma and secret of “literature.” The essays here bear down on the necessity and impossibility of witnessing what literature transmits, and―like Beckett and Kafka―on what one might call the “default” of language, the tenuous border that binds writing and silence to each other. In addition to ..." |

A lifelong friend of Levinas, he had a major influence on Foucault, Derrida, Nancy, and many others. Both his fiction and his criticism played a determining role in how postwar French philosophy was written, especially in its intense concern with the question of writing as such. Never an academic, he published most of his critical work in periodical ..." |

 | | The One Who Was Standing Apart from Me(1st Edition) by Professor Maurice Blanchot, Lydia Davis Paperback, 94 Pages, Published 1995 by Station Hill Press @ Barrytown ISBN-13: 978-0-88268-151-1, ISBN: 0-88268-151-6 "This work takes the form of a conversation, an interview. An obsessive questioning back and forth builds up Blanchot's narrative, with its sense--shared with Kafka's famous "doorkeeper" parable--that behind each question lies the spooky possibility of a further, more imposing, more insoluble question. Thematically, powerlessness, inertia, insufficient speech, weariness, falling, faltering--everything tied to a negative or nonexistent va ..." |

ISBN-13: 978-0-930794-97-2, ISBN: 0-930794-97-4 "These early parables of Maurice Blanchot provide a rewarding introduction to a modern master; they also illuminate with hallucinatory intensity certain consequences of the hopeless and irresistible human longing to communicate through language. The world is still haunted by the ghosts of unspoken and unspeakable words emanating from the deaths here recounted almost fifty years ago." |

Blanchot developed a distinctive, limpid form of essay writing; these essays, in form and substance, left their imprint on the work of the most influential French theorists. The writings of Barthes, Foucault, and Derrida are unimaginable without Blanchot. Published in French in 1949, The Work of Fire is a collection of t ..." |
