Book Description

Publication Date: January 1, 2003

Placing side by side for the first time three of Pierre Klossowski's most important essays on art and Maurice Blanchot's seminal analysis of Klossowski's art and writings, this book brings together two of the most challenging figures in French intellectual life of the post-war period. Alyce Mahon's critical introduction contextualises Klossowski's philosophical writings, novels, art and film collaborations during this period of intense moral and existential debate. It also investigates the creative dialogue between these two thinkers, proposing the Sadean discourse as the most profitable route into Klossowski's artistic universe.
