Condición: FINE. First printing, a trade paperback, issued simultaneously with hardcover. Includes interviews and conversations ranging from 1969 to 1994, and covering much of his work and ideas. Although Gaines has won many awards - including the National Book Award, the Pulitzer Prize, and the MacArthur "genius" award, and his books have been the basis of excellent films, he remains a very under-appreciated writer by the public as a whole. However, a book like this helps to put his work in perspective and to reveal the complexity and depth of his characters and ideas. A title in the Literary Conversations Series. Frontispiece, chronology. Index. 335 pp. Fine in illustrated wrappers (a new copy).…

ASIN: B0018BKPSC. "In putting together these three short essays by Georges Canguilhem, I hope to be able to give some indication of the remarkable intellectual fruitfulness of the exchanges between Canguilhem and Michel Foucault. Canguilhem's own work in the history and philosophy of science, which Foucault always recognized as an important source for some of his own books, contains a specific orientation and kind of analysis that has perhaps not yet been sufficiently exploited in the Anglo-American disciplines of science studies. More specifically, these essays by Canguilhem allow us to see the continuing importance and extraordinary density of Foucault's 'Histoire de la folie,' which, it is still hard to believe, has never been fully translated into English.".…
