Description

This work takes the form of a conversation, an interview. An obsessive questioning back and forth builds up Blanchots narrative, with its senseshared with Kafkas famous doorkeeper parablethat behind each question lies the spooky possibility of a further, more imposing, more insoluble question. Thematically, powerlessness, inertia, insufficient speech, weariness, falling, falteringeverything tied to a negative or nonexistent value in ordinary discourseis given value here by its being articulated, moved into writing and thought. Whats insignificant or worthless gathers weight through its troubling persistence, its failure to disappear. The endless conversation of Blanchots writing turns fiction toward an experience of listeninga far cry from the storytelling most fiction (still) takes itself to be.
