Product Description
No work of fiction has explored the undercurrents of love between a writer and a reader as seductively as "Hallucinating Foucault", a breathtaking literary debut. "One of the best novels of the year".--A.S.
Amazon.com Review
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 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.
