In these two essays, two of the most important French thinkers of our time reflect on each other's 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 which question the status of the author/subject and explore the notion of a "neutral" voice that arises from the realm of the"outside." This book is crucial not only to an understanding of these two thinkers, but also to any overview of recent French thought.Michel Foucault (1927-1984) was the holder of a chair at the College de France. Among his works are Madness and Civilization, The Order of Things, Discipline and Punish, and The History of Sexuality Maurice Blanchot, born in 1907, is a novelist and critic. His works include Death Sentence, Thomas the Obscure, and The Space of Literature.

Foucault / Blanchot: Maurice Blanchot: The Thought from Outside and Michel Foucault as I Imagine Him
Foucault on Blanchot is about as obscure as I've come to expect from Foucault, not least because I've read no Blanchot as yet - the clearer moments, however, make me all the more excited to attempt the latter. Perhaps moreso Blanchot on Foucault - at least in translation Blanchot here speaks clear as a bell, and even considering his measured avoidance of praise in his treatment of Foucault's work, nevertheless drums up a passion and delight that he himself appears to have experienced in the younger man's work.
This was a quick and fun read, over the course of which my reading list filled out a great deal. A curiosity in itself, or a springboard to further exploration. I expect I'll look forward to reading it again once I've read more by each author.
