 Gregg, John, 1954-
 Maurice Blanchot and the literature of transgression
 Princeton University Press, c1994.

I found this to be a good critical appraisal of Blanchot.  He explores 
the intellectual relationship with Bataille, spends a good deal of time 
on the fiction [esp. _Le Tres-Haut_ which has not been translated].  I 
would look him up in the MLA directory or if you're really serious get in 
touch with princeton u.p. and find out where he teaches.

good luck,
