Book summary

The narrator's search for Paul Michel, the enfant terrible of French letters, is the organizing principle of this mysterious tale. Beginning in Cambridge, then moving to a French asylum, and into the summer storms of Provence, it explores the connections between Michel and Foucault, as well as between reader and writer.

Media reviews

"Ms. Duncker...is fervent about the intimacy the act of reading can evoke. A fierce intellectual passion transfuses her cool, spare prose and her shifting characterizations in a fascinating drama of knowledge and power, reason and desire. Amid the mind games and power plays of this austere, romantic novel, the ideal reader could risk an ideal hallucination."

Hallucinating Foucault
