'There is a crisis of the essay,' begins Sartre as he ventures into a long analysis of how the work of one of his contemporaries who might save this form--Georges Bataille. He reviews Aminadab, the important work of another hugely influential philosopher--Maurice Blanchot, through whom, writes Sartre, 'the literature of the fantastic continues the steady progress that will inevitably unite it, ultimately, with what it has always been.'" --
