Indeed it is (hats off to the good Dr. Kritzman). Although _Foucault Live_ certainly contains a larger volume of interviews, I have found the translations sketchy. To all of you who read French, take a look at _Dits and Ecrits: 1954-1988_, a four volume collection containing almost all of the essays, interviews, and other works not of book length. The publisher is Gallimard (1994). In my experience, these interviews are absolutely vital to an understanding of the Foucauldian project as well as the individual works. Similarly, one should not overlook _I, Pierre Riviere, having slaughtered my mother, my sister, and my brother...", a text which includes the original documentary sources on which Foucault and others base an analysis which picks up threads useful to those struggling with _Madness and Civilization_ and _Discipline and Punish_. Coincidentally, could anyone give me their evaluation of _Resume des cours, 1970-1982_, which is billed as a summary of Foucault's teachings at the College de France in that period? -Bayard Bell
