Seller's Description:
Very Good Condition. An excellent copy in great condition. Only slight wear to cover. All pages clean, crisp and fresh. Publisher's note: "The book consists of The Instant of My Death, a powerful short prose piece by Blanchot, and an extended essay by Derrida that reads it in the context of questions of literature and of bearing witness. Blanchot's narrative concerns a moment when a young man is brought before a firing squad during World War II and then suddenly finds himself released from his near death. The incident, written in the third person, is suggestively autobiographical-from the title, several remarks in the text, and a letter Blanchot wrote about a similar incident in his own life-but only insofar as it raises questions for Blanchot about what such an experience might mean. The accident of near death becomes, in the instant the man is released, the accident of a life he no longer possesses."--Jacket. Size: 20.4 x 12.8 x 1 cm. 114 pp. Shipped Weight: Under 250 grams.
