Duties and delights

"Tzvetan Todorov is one of Europe's leading intellectuals. Beyond his work in cultural and literary theory, philosophy and psychoanalysis, Todorov'.s influence is extraordinarily far-reaching specifically because or the clarity of his writing and his refusal to be bound by systems of thought and disciplinary straitjackets." "Duties and Delights presents a series of interviews with Tzvetan Todorov which illuminate the paths that he has taken, the paths that he has crossed and the paths that he has opened up for others."--Jacket.
