Caught in a sexual attraction too powerful to dismiss, youthful Maurice and Alec flee England's law against sodomy and rigid class society that would keep them apart. They set out in 1924 aboard the Olympic in search of freedom to love. Arriving in America with the promise of the Statue of Liberty, once they settle in Philadelphia the same family opposition to Alec awaits Maurice who dares not reject his uncle's business connections at a price. Alec loathes the needs of secrecy imposed by society and oppressive laws against homosexuality. Espousing a philosophy of natural liberty, he embarks on sexual adventure that shatters their lives. Maurice is left to rescue the pieces or return disenchanted to England.

Writing in fragments is often held to be one of the most distinctive signature effects of Romantic, modern, and postmodern literature. But what is the fragment, and what may be said to be its literary, philosophical, and political significance? Few writers have explored these questions with such probing radicality and rigorous tenacity as the French writer and thinker Maurice Blanchot. For the first time in any language, this book explores in detail Blanchot's own writing in fragments in order to understand the stakes of the fragmentary within philosophical and literary modernity. It attends in detail to each of Blanchot's fragmentary works (Awaiting Forgetting, The Step Not Beyond, and The Writing of the Disaster) and reconstructs Blanchot's radical critical engagement with the philosophical and literary tradition, in particular with Hegel, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Heraclitus, Levinas, Derrida, Nancy, Mallarmé, Char, and others, and assesses Blanchot's account of politics, Jewish thought, and the Shoah, with a view to understanding the stakes of fragmentary writing in Blanchot and within philosophical and literary modernity in general.
