Maurice Blanchot: The Rhetoric of Denial
A review in artpress no. 422 (May 2015, p. 76) examines Michel Surya's book 'L'Autre Blanchot' published by Gallimard in the 'Tel' collection. Surya's work re-evaluates Maurice Blanchot, one of the most respected writers of his time, whose exclusive devotion to the highest demands of thought and courageous commitments alongside the most vulnerable had granted him moral authority. The review, titled 'Maurice Blanchot la rhétorique du déni,' likely critiques Blanchot's political past and the rhetoric of denial surrounding it.
