Reviews

It is tempting to respond to dark times with the light of optimism. But as William S. Allen shows in Noir and Blanchot, this is to fall into the trap of darkness. In a pathbreaking exploration of using darkness to forge a way out of darkness, Allen brings together two unlikely allies - film noir and Maurice Blanchot - to disrupt the prevailing dark times. * Todd McGowan, Professor of English, University of Vermont, USA *
