Last Steps

Last Steps: Maurice Blanchot¿s Exilic Writings addresses the later works of the influential French writer and theorist, Maurice Blanchot. It offers a sustained reading of Blanchot¿s The Step Not Beyond that is prepared by interpretive presentations of a number of Blanchot¿s important writings of the post-war period and a chapter on the thought of Emmanuel Levinas. It follows Blanchot¿s attempt to expose the grounds of human relation through some of the most ground-breaking literary and philosophical explorations of the 20th century.
