Put another way, how should literary criticism respond to the paradox that in order to make critical judgments of literary works, it is first necessary to suspend judgment and to consider the impossibility of making a final decision? Hill pursues these ideas in the works of leading French critics Roland Barthes, Maurice Blanchot, and Jacques Derrida, discussing writers such as Sade, Mallarmé, Proust, Artaud, Genet, Celan, and Duras.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHill concludes that, despite their differences, Barthes, Blanchot, and Derrida share a conviction that criticism cannot take place without exposure to that resistance to decision that is inseparable from reading and that they address diversely as the \"neuter\" or the \"undecidable.\" \u003ci\u003eRadical Indecision\u003c\/i\u003e offers the first sustained exploration of the \"undecidable.\" This comprehensive book breathes new life into the discipline of literary theory and will be essential reading for students and scholars alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeslie Hill is professor of French studies at the University of Warwick.
