Le beau danger & La grande étrangère

Le beau danger presents Michel Foucault's remarkable 1968 conversation with critic Claude Bonnefoy, in which he offers an unusually personal reflection on writing, discourse, and his own relationship with language. La grande étrangère gathers talks from 1963 to 1970 on language and madness, literature and language, and Sade. Drawing on radio recordings, lecture transcripts, and unpublished manuscripts, the volume reveals Foucault’s distinctive practices of reading while tracing an important, often overlooked trajectory in the development of his thought on literature and language.
