ABOUT THIS BOOK
Reviews of this book: Didier Eribon...has produced an astonishingly readable account of the man and his ideas , which is also in many ways an intellectual history of postwar France, so wide a trail did Foucault blaze in his time...Eribon's sensitive, lucid and wide-ranging intellectual biography gives us both an appealingly personal view of this quirky and brilliant man, and also a sense of his true stature. --Thomas Frick, Los Angeles Times Book Review Reviews of this book: Foucault is well served by his biographer, who has not hesitated to paint a warts-and-all portrait of his complicated, sometimes contradictory, subject. Eribon's book offers readers not only a fascinating account of Foucault's life and work, but a first-class short course in the contemporary French literary scene. --Ron Grossman, Chicago Tribune Reviews of this book: A striking biography. --Alan Ryan, New York Review of Books Eribon offers not only a vivid, timely, detailed portrait of an enigmatic and ambiguous man but also a thoroughly accurate description of the French intellectual world, with all its rituals and fetishes. The book holds our attention like a good novel. --Pierre Bourdieu, Collège de France See other books on: Eribon, Didier | France | Michel Foucault | Philosophers | Wing, Betsy See other titles from Harvard University Press |
