Hallucinating Foucault by Patricia Duncker
Hallucinating Foucault is a love story, depicting the love between writer and reader in all its frightening intensity. Paul Michel is a literary master, a revolutionary writer who inspires his Reader with such devotion that he embarks on the strangest of quests: to liberate Paul Michel from the brutal system in which he's been incarcerated for the past ten years. But Michel is also a Reader, and his love for his lost Mentor has driven him into a mad, violent world, into which his Reader is gradually drawn, and from which there is no escape.
Hallucinating Foucault was one of the best novels of its year.. It is a thriller, a romance and a critique of dryness...Ever since I read it, I have been encouraging everyone else to do so * A.S. Byatt *
Electrically charged and thoroughly engaging * Sunday Times *
An elegant novel of ideas with real passion and emotional power * Independent *
