"Maurice Blanchot's leftist political writings are a major testament to this writer's perspicacity, independence and honor. His writings from the 1968 revolution are among the most piercing political tracts ever written, and the entire collection is an invaluable document for anyone working in French literary and political history of the last century." -- -Kevin Hart The University of Virginia "This selection of essays provides rich insights into the ways one of France's leading writers interpreted and related to the political history of his country in the decades following the second World War." -- -Samuel Weber Northwestern University
