DescriptionMaurice Blanchot has long inspired writers, artists, and philosophers with some of the most incisive statements of what it meant to experience the traumas and turmoils of the twentieth century. Bidents magisterial biography provides the first full-length account of Blanchots itinerary, drawing on unpublished letters and interviews with the writers close friends, while also providing a sophisticated genealogy of his thought.A journalist and activist, but also inclined to secrecy, Blanchot lived public and private lives that converged at some of the centurys most momentous occasions: He was nearly executed during the Occupation, participated prominently in the May 68 revolution in Paris, and, more controversially, wrote for the far right in the 30s. Even-handed throughout, Bident offers a much-needed fleshing out of a life too easily sensationalized.About the authorChristophe Bident (Author) Christophe Bident teaches at the University of Picardie Jules Verne.
