Gilles Deleuze: Travels in Literature 

Deleuze’s writing is permeated with references to literature. Despite asserting that he was not a literary critic, Deleuze provides exhilarating and original interactions with texts. This study offers in-depth encounters between Deleuze’s thought and the writers who fascinated him, demonstrating the productivity of a Deleuzian frame of reference.
