Description - Gaze of Orpheus and Other Literary Essays by Maurice Blanchot

and , trans. "When we come to write the history of criticism for the 1940 to 1980 period, it will be found that Blanchot, together with Sartre, made French "discourse" possible, both in its relentlessness and its acuity...This selection...is exemplary for its clearly translated and well-chosen excerpts from Blanchot's many influential books. Reading him now, and in this form, I feel once more the excitement of discovering Blanchot in the 1950s..."-Geoffrey Hartman
