Description
Summary:Published in France in 1943, Faux Pas is the first collection of Maurice Blanchot's essays on literature and language. These essays established Blanchot as the most lucid and powerful French critic of the second half of the twentieth century. The first section of the volume, 'From Anguish to Language', indicates the relative unity of its trajectory and its special moment in the development of Blanchot's thought. Blanchot traces the 'comedy of language' through his intensely luminous essays on poetry and narration, on silence and symbolism, the novel and morals, the stranger, the enigma, time, and the very possibility of literature.
