"In the editor's introduction to this volume, Maurice Blanchot (1907-2003) is described as "a writer whose work breaks new ground in its account of the philosophical implications of the thing called literature (if it may be thought to exist at all)." Hill's (French studies, U. of Warwick) overview of Blanchot's thought and legacy is followed by 15 contributions from European, Australian, and American scholars. These explore Blanchot's work in relation to such concepts as the movements of the neuter, the inertia of being, and the literature of indistinction."
