Publications, Performances, and Exhibitions = I published _Approaching Disappearance_ in February 2013 at Dalkey Archive Press. The book focuses on the work of Maurice Blanchot, one of the most influential figures in French literature and criticism in the 20th century. My study applies his thought to the reading of short fictions by Jorge Luis Borges, Franz Kafka, Nathalie Sarraute, and Louis-Rene Des Forets.
