In these two essays, two of the most important French thinkers of our time reflect on each other鈥檚 work. In so doing, novelist/essayist Maurice Blanchot and philosopher Michel Foucault develop a new perspective on the relationship between subjectivity, fiction, and the will to truth. The two texts present reflections on writing, language, and representation that question the status of the author/subject and explore the notion of a 鈥渘eutral鈥 voice that arises from the realm of the 鈥渙utside.鈥 This book is crucial not only to an understanding of these two thinkers, but also to any overview of recent French thought.
