Subject: MB: Blanchot and Nietzsche


	Does anyone know when exactly Blanchot started writing/publishing on 
Nietzsche?  I've coming to think that Blanchot may occupy an important 
spot in the reception of Nietzsche EARLIER rather than later in France, 
perhaps in the early 1950s.  The influence of Bataille is obvious from 
1946, even leaving aside his 1930s activities in _Acephele_.  But I'm 
wondering whether Blanchot's essays in NRF, which made Foucault wish he 
could write like him, might have provided another source for interest in 
Nietzsche, otherwise too often attributed to Heidegger's prior influence.
