Maurice Blanchot, Michel Fouvault, Michel Foucault. Zone Books (NY), $18.95 (112pp) ISBN 978-0-942299-03-8

``In the first of this book's two dense essays, Foucault links the neutral space of Blanchot's fiction to a line of thought extending from de Sade to Artaud, Nietzsche and Bataille. . . . In the second essay, Blanchot mines Foucault's excavation of the social practices underpinning prisons, the courts and the medical establishment,'' reported PW . (Jan.)
