The One Who Is Standing Apart from Me Blanchot MauricePaperback
This work takes the form of a conversation, an interview. Thematically, powerlessness, inertia, insufficient speech, weariness, falling, faltering - everything tied to a negative or nonexistent value in ordinary discourse - is given value here by its being articulated, moved into writing and thought. An obsessive questioning back and forth builds up Blanchot's narrative, with its sense - shared with Kafka's famous "doorkeeper" parable - that behind each question lies the spooky possibility of a further, more imposing, more insoluble question.
The "endless" conversation of Blanchot's writing turns "fiction" toward an experience of listening - a far cry from the storytelling most fiction (still) takes itself to be. What's insignificant or worthless gathers weight through its troubling persistence, its failure to disappear.
