I'm curious:

Does anyone on this list ever question these (and other such) notions in terms
of creativity/the creator (artist/writer), instead of simply in academic
terms?  It seems to me the ACT of creation is Blanchot's chief
concern/obsession, not academic comparisons and distinctions. I'm not trying
to say anything negative about the list - this has simply to do with my own
interest in Blanchot.  I would very much like to hear any one else's ideas on
his perception of the act and engage in a discussion of it's meaning - both
Blanchot's meaning, and those of other writers on this list.

the floor is open and I await ...
