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. Average Rating:
 Rating: - An Unsettling BookThe tendency of prose to settle while being read will not be found in this book. Stability of the mind will be a memory worth forgetting as you embark into a personalized world of disturbing imagery (disturbing in a good sense)and ambiguity at its absolute height. A must read for anyone interested in non'linear literature.
