Death and the Labyrinth

<i> <p>Death and the Labyrinth </i>is unique being Foucault's only work on literature. For Foucault this was by far the book I wrote most easily and with the greatest pleasure. Here Foucault explores theory criticism and psychology through the texts of Raymond Roussel one of the fathers of experimental writing whose work has been celebrated by the likes of Cocteau Duchamp Breton Robbe Grillet Gide and Giacometti.</p> <p>This revised edition includes an introduction chronology and bibliography to Foucault's work by James Faubion an interview with Foucault conducted only nine months before his death and concludes with an essay on Roussel by the poet John Ashbery.</p>
