    Maurice Blanchot : Dagens vanvid & Mit dødsøjeblik – oversættelse og efterskrift Mikkel Thykier Normalpris Udsolgt Inklusive moms. Levering bliver beregnet ved kassen MAURICE BLANCHOT, 1907-2003I Danmark er Blanchot meget lidt læst og først og fremmest kendt som en kritiker, der udøvede en skjult, men stærk påvirkning på folk som Roland Barthes, Gilles Deleuze, Jacques Derrida og Michel Foucault, mens hans samlede forfatterskab, dvs. hans virke både som litteraturkritiker og skønlitterær forfatter i disse år diskuteres flittigt i resten af verden. Ikke bare Blanchots kritiske arbejde har været af afgørende betydning. Hans fiktion, som er samtidig med og tåler sammenligning med Samuel Becketts, har også været af afgørende betydning for den franske skønlitteratur i anden halvdel af det 20. århundrede, Marguerite Duras’ forfatterskab er fx utænkeligt uden Blanchot. Dagens vanvid er en kort og fortættet tekst fra de mest kreative år i Blanchots karriere, den gennemspiller hektisk et af de vigtigste temaer i forfatterskabet: Individet stillet over for døden, loven og kravet om sand tale. Mit dødsøjeblik er en sen tekst, tilsyneladende en erindringsskitse, som vender tilbage til en kort scene fra Dagens vanvid, uddyber den og sætter hele forfatterskabet i perspektiv. Udgivelsen er suppleret med et solidt essay (efterord) af oversætteren og forfatteren Mikkel Thykier, der sætter Blanchots diskussion af døden i forhold til H.C. Andersens forfatterskab, samt afklarer forholdet til Barthes, Deleuze, Derrida og Foucault.

    This book is a translation of Maurice Blanchot's work that is of major importance to late 20th-century literature and philosophy studies. Using the fragmentary form, Blanchot challenges the boundaries between the literary and the philosophical. With the obsessive rigor that has always marked his writing, Blanchot returns to the themes that have haunted his work since the beginning: writing, death, transgression, the neuter, but here the figures around whom his discussion turns are Hegel and Nietzsche rather than Mallarme and Kafka.The metaphor Blanchot uses for writing in The Step Not Beyond is the game of chance. Fragmentary writing is a play of limits, a play of ever-multiplied terms in which no one term ever takes precedence. Through the randomness of the fragmentary, Blanchot explores ideas as varied as the relation of writing to luck and to the law, the displacement of the self in writing, the temporality of the Eternal Return, the responsibility of the self towards the others.

    This new reader from Station Hill (Blanchot's longtime publisher in the United States) is six books in one, and the first and only collection of Maurice Blanchot's celebrated fiction and critical/philosophical writing. Regarded both on the European continent and in America as one of the truly great authors of French Post-Modernism, Blanchot's reputation and readership in English has already established him as a modern classic. THE BLANCHOT READER brings together a substantial collection of critical and philosophical writings (The Gaze of Orpheus) and the only edition in print in English of his major works of fiction (Thomas the Obscure, Death Sentence, Vicious Circles, The Madness of the Day, When the Time Comes and The One Who Was Standing Apart From Me). General readers and students alike will seek out these essential works by the writer Susan Sontag referred to as "an unimpeachably major voice in modern French literature." Maurice Blanchot is now recognized as a major twentieth century philosopher whose influence extends to the works of Derrida, Foucault, Levinas, Lacan and others. Blanchot's philosophical works explore issues concerning the problematic acts of speech and writing, death and questions of political right-concerns that also shape his fiction. Blanchot's fiction draws the reader in by upsetting expectations, we are confronted by characters who are in situations they don't completely understand. The settings are mysterious, almost surreal. As we read further into the story, hoping for greater clarity - why is this character here? Where did he come from?, etc. - meaning and resolution are constantly deferred. The lack of closure in Blanchot's fiction gives it at an odd kind of suspense and his spare but poetic language contributes to creating a very distinct atmosphere. Within and outside of these philosophical struggles there is the German occupation of France, and Auschwitz. The presence of an arbitrary or absurdist power and the spectre of death hover. Blanchot never concludes his exploration of the these issues, they remain indeterminate, but writing continues, despite its seeming impossibility. "Maurice Blanchot's work is an invitation to the reader to join him on those severe and icy slopes of consciousness, to experience what it means to be both fully dead - utterly separated from the world, "a shadow on the sun" - and fully alive. It is an amazing, exhilarating, appalling experience. Station Hill Press should be congratulated for its courage in bringing forth this important but obviously not very commercial enterprise. Blanchot's work is, as he says, "a force for transformation and creation, made to create enigmas rather than to elucidate them." For the first time, we are able to see it with some clarity." - Seminary Co-op Bookstore

    The fourth volume of Blanchot's war-time chronicles reflects a commitment to silence and a detachment from circumstance, as Germany's occupation of France reaches its end. Convinced that disaster is now insuperable, Blanchot neutralizes the nihilism of that position through making it the basis of a new language of human relation.

    Before Sartre, before Beckett, before Robbe-Grillet, Maurice Blanchot created the "new novel, " the ultimate post-modern fiction. Written between 1932 and 1940, Blanchot's first novel, here brilliantly translated by Robert Lamberton, contains all the remarkable aspects of his famous and perplexing invention, "the ontological narrative"-a tale whose subject is the nature of being itself. This paradoxical work discovers being in the absence of being, mystery in the absence of mystery, both to be searched for limitlessly. As Blanchot launches this endless search in his own masterful way, he transforms the possibilities of the novel. First issued in English in 1973 in a limited edition, this re-issue includes an illuminating essay on translation by Lamberton.

    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

    This long awaited reprint of a book about which John Hollander wrote: "A masterful version of one of the most remarkable novels in any language since World War II," is the story of the narrator's relations with two women, one terminally ill, the other found motionless by him in a darkened room after a bomb explosion has separated them. "Through more than 40 years, the French writer Maurice Blanchot has produced an astonishing body of fiction and criticism," writes Gilbert Sorrentino in the New York Review of Books, and John Updike in The New Yorker: "Blanchot's prose gives an impression, like Henry James, of carrying meanings so fragile they might crumble in transit."
