Hallucinating Foucault

Download or read book Hallucinating Foucault written by Patricia Duncker and published by Bloomsbury Paperbacks. This book was released on 2006 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An intricate and self-reflective novel about that most delicate of relationships--meaning the one between writers and readers. The narrator, an anonymous graduate student, sets off on the trail of a French novelist named Paul Michel, who is currently confined to an asylum. Engineering his hero's release, the narrator finds himself enmeshed in a bizarre love triangle, of which the three vertices are himself, the novelist, and the late Michel Foucault. Sex, it seems, can be made safe, but the oddball intimacy of reading cannot.
