Description
Thomas the Obscure by Maurice Blanchot Maurice Blanchot's first novel, written between 1932 and 1940, is a groundbreaking work of post-modern fiction that explores the nature of being itself. This paradoxical tale discovers being in the absence of being, mystery in the absence of mystery, and sets out on an endless search for meaning. Translated by Robert Lamberton, this re-issue includes an illuminating essay on translation, offering a deeper understanding of Blanchot's innovative style. First published in English in 1973, this edition provides a unique insight into the possibilities of the novel and the challenges of translating a complex work of literature.
