I'm writing the master's thesis on the concept "parole(s)" of Blanchot, in
which I try to show the differences between Blanchot and Levinas. If I dare
to say, Levinas is, for me, a hypothetical enemy, in spite of their apparent
friendship.

Please give me the reference of the essay "Difficult Friendship".

Thank you,

p.s. French is more familier to me than English. Is it possible to write in
French here?
