5.0 out of 5 stars The 'new novel' the ultimate post-modern fiction, 18 Jun 2008
By F. Richardson (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Written between 1932 and 1940 Blanchot's first novel is the ultimate post-modern fiction: `the ontological narrative' which transformed the possibilities of the novel before Sartre and Beckett. It is a perplexing novel on the subject of the nature of being; a paradoxical work that searches for being in the absence of being, mystery in the absence of mystery. First published in English 26 years ago this re-issue of the Station Hill Press trade version includes an illuminating essay on translation by Robert Lamberton.
