Subject: MB: Blanchot as Fascist?


Blanchotistas,

     Any information (book reviews, comments, etc.) on Steven Ungar's
forthcoming book *Scandal and Aftereffect: Blanchot and France since 1930*
(Minnesota UP)?  The book purports to reveal Blanchot's "involvement in
far-rightist politics" in the 1930's.  The Heidegger and de Man
"revelations" certainly had strategic value for those interested in
attacking poststructuralism in its philosophical and literary forms.  Does
this book have the same aim?  Is it more interesting and revealing than
that?
