Description: Thomas the Obscure Author: BLANCHOT, Maurice Title: Thomas the Obscure Description: NY: David Lewis, 1973. First edition, one of 1,500 copies. 117pp. Black cloth; dust jacket. Fine in a jacket with light, irregular fading. First English-language edition of the debut novel by French writer and theorist Maurice Blanchot (1907-2003), originally published in 1941 as Thomas L'Obscur; considered one of the masterpieces of 20th century French literature, and a key influence on the Nouveau Roman movement of the 1950s, for which it set an arguably unsurpassable ideal of literary abstraction. Translated by Robert Lamberton. Nice copy of an increasingly uncommon first.
