Kritik
«In enlisting Blanchot's thinking in order to understand better the relation between literature and violence, Christian Kloeckner does not aim, however, to examine the thematic treatment of terrorism in selected novels as such, but rather 'to analyse [them] for the ways in which they relate terrorism to the act of writing and the question of literature's power' (p. 19). To this end, he offers an often astute, well-informed analysis of Auster's early prose and poetry, and tracks with illuminating persistence the trace left on Auster by his encounter with Blanchot.»
