Notes

1. L’Arrét de mort (Paris: Gallimard, 1948), trans. Lydia Davis under the title Death Sentence (Barrytown, N.Y.: Station Hill Press, 1978).

2. This definition recalls Heidegger’s alèthéia, in “The Origin of the Work of Art,” for example. In The Writing of the Disaster, Blanchot ponders the word alèthéia, its possible etymologies and meaning.

3. Michel Foucault, in “La Pensée du dehors,” Critique, no. 229 (June 1966), was the first to emphasize the interiorlessness of Blanchot’s writing, and the implications of his term le dehors.

4. L’Espace littéraire (Paris: Gallimard, 1955), trans. Ann Smock as The Space of Literature (Lincoln: University of Nebraska Press, 1982). Readers approaching Blanchot for the first time might wish to look at the general introduction to his work provided as a preface to the 1982 translation.

5. L’Entretien infini (Paris: Gallimard, 1969).
