MAURICE BLANCHOT (1907-2003) was a French philosopher, literary theorist and novelist.  Described by James Kirkup as "the most reclusive author of the 20th century," there are only two known photographs of Blanchot.  His work challenged the boundaries between the literary and the philosophical, and his theories on the relationship between the writer, language, literature and philosophy influenced a generation of post-modern and post-structuralist thinkers such as Foucault and Derrida. 

Blanchot draws heavily from Franz Kafka, and his fictional work (like his theoretical work) is shot through with an engagement with Kafka's writing.  His later work in particular is influenced by Levinasian ethics and the question of responsibility to the Other.  On the other hand, Blanchot's own literary works, like the famous THOMAS THE OBSCURE,  heavily influenced Levinas's and Bataille's ideas about the possibility that our vision of reality is blurred because of the use of words.

In his final years, Blanchot communicated with very few people, preferring to refer to himself as "already dead" and his publications as "posthumous."  His friendship with Derrida remained strong, however, and the two communicated until Blanchot’s death in 2003.  Derrida delivered the eulogy.

Thank you, Workbee! He is certainly one of the craziest ever. I don't know how to put it, but when you read him, it is quite possible for you to... write something.
workerbee
salute to you for sharing such excellent collection of eBooks.
Of all I was intrigued by the books you have shared of Israeli and Jewish authors. I was wondering if it would be possible to have books by these authors in AUDIOBOOK form? I would be eternally indebted if you are kind enough to share them here..
@h0th34d - Thanks for your kind words. Unfortunately, I know virtually nothing about sourcing good audiobook collections and so can't really help you there. Maybe approach one or more of the uploaders who specialize in those kind of materials?

I have almost no experience with audiobooks generally. A few years ago, I tried listening to James Joyce's "Ulysses" during a long-distance car trip. I was concentrating so much on the recorded text and Joyce's use of language that, had the traffic been much heavier, the results could easily have been fatal. I haven't listened to an audiobook since.
I found a wonderful comment on Blanchot on amazon. Just google "blanchot completely irrelevant" and u will find it. It's a fragment, very Benjaminesque :)

Dear Workbee, can u find me Erich Auerbach TIME, HISTORY AND LITERATURE. And besides, is bookfarm OK? I haven't got an invitation yet and I'm just curious.
@SirPeterRussel - I would love to find Auerbach's volume of essays but I don't own a copy that I can scan and it doesn't appear the book has been issued in digital form yet.

I believe ebook.farm, which I assume you are asking about, is currently offering free registration without the need for an invitation. It's definitely worth checking out . . . but they don't have a copy of Auerbach either. :-(
@SirPeterRussel - I spoke too soon about the ebook.farm website. Although they were offering free registrations a few days ago, they've now returned to invitation only. Sorry about that.
Thank you!
