The Instant of My Death /Demeure - (Meridian: Crossing Aesthetics) by Maurice Blanchot & Jacques Derrida (Paperback)

This book is a remarkable encounter between two of the greatest minds in contemporary thought - Maurice Blanchot and Jacques Derrida.

Their meeting is recorded in this volume, which consists of Blanchot's powerful short prose piece "The Instant of My Death" and an extended essay by Derrida that reads it in the context of questions of literature and of bearing witness.

The book raises important questions about what it means to write about a (non)experience one cannot claim as one's own, and provides elements of a more expansive reassessment of literature, testimony, and truth.

This is a must-read for anyone interested in philosophy, literature, and the human experience.
