"Blanchot at 100" tribute on video

In November 2007, members of the Blanchot community gathered at Bard College to celebrate, in words and music, the hundredth anniversary of Maurice Blanchot’s birth.

You can now watch the proceedings (in English) at Espace Maurice Blanchot. They include Éric Trudel providing a brief introduction and overview of Blanchot's work, George Quasha of Station Hill Press talking about how he first encountered Blanchot’s work, Pierre Joris reading from The Unavowable Community, Robert Kelly reading a tribute to Blanchot written by P. Adams Sitney, and Charlotte Mandell reading from her translation of The Voice from Elsewhere.
