Although he is best known as a philosopher, Deleuze´s interests were extremely far-reaching. In addition to his important critiques of major philosophers like Kant, Hume, and Spinoza, he also wrote extensively on literature, cinema, and art. Deleuze wrote monographs on Proust, Kafka, and Sacher-Masoch. He also wrote essays on Beckett, Melville, Jarry, T.E. Lawrence, D. H. Lawrence, and Whitman. The essays collected in this volume are the first devoted solely to Deleuze´s work on literature. Written by leading Deleuzian scholars, the essays focus on two main questions: how does Deleuze read literary texts and how can we read texts in a Deleuzian way?
