I’ve been away for a while, so there were a few books waiting for me on my return. Several of these relate to a planned ‘Sunday History‘ on the Tel Quel visit to China – Jean Berthier’s recent book Voyage tranquille au pays des horreurs: Sollers, Barthes, Kristeva, Pleynet, Wahl… en Chine and some of the older ones on it. The pile also includes Gilles Deleuze,  Sur la peinture, the first of his courses to be published – I already have the others out so far, and the English translation On Painting. Tim Cresswell’s The Citizen and the Vagabond: A Politics of Mobility was sent by University of Minnesota Press, François Cusset’s older French Theory was recompense for review work for them.
