Placing side by side for the first time three of Pierre Klossowski's most important essays on art and Maurice Blanchot's seminal analysis of Klossowski's art and writings, this book brings together two of the most challenging figures in French intellectual life of the post-war period. Alyce Mahon's critical introduction contextualises Klossowski's philosophical writings, novels, art and film collaborations during this period of intense moral and existential debate. It also investigates the creative dialogue between these two thinkers, proposing the Sadean discourse as the most profitable route into Klossowski's artistic universe.

Pierre Klossowski (1905-2001) was a significant and influential philosopher, writer, translator and artist who befriended Georges Bataille and formulated an original stance on many theological issues, as well as the philosophy of the Marquis de Sade. His first novel, Roberte, ce soir, appeared in 1954 as a limited edition containing six of his own erotic illustrations, after he rejected drawings by his younger brother, the painter Balthus. Following the encouragement of Robert Lebel, Andre Masson and Alberto Giacometti, Klossowski held his first exhibition in Paris in 1956, and subsequently produced numerous life-size drawings of erotic scenes imbued with mythological, allegorical and philosophical connotations. By the 1970s, he had won the acclaim of such eminent thinkers as Maurice Blanchot, Michel Butor, Gilles Deleuze, Michel Foucault and Felix Guattari. Of Klossowski, Gilles Deleuze once said, "That bodies speak has been known for a long time."
