In 1941 Maurice Blanchot began to publish a weekly column of literary criticism which became the source for his first critical work, Faux pas (1943). The majority of these pieces remained uncollected until 2007. As well as providing a unique perspective on cultural life during the Occupation, they offer crucial insights into the mind and art of one of the most original writers in the second half of the twentieth century.
