Author Description

"The texts and interviews gathered in this volume cover the last twenty years of Gilles Deleuze's life (1975-1995), which saw the publication of his major works: A Thousand Plateaus (1980), Cinema I: Image-Movement (1985), Cinema II: Image-Time (1985), all leading through language, concept and art to What is Philosophy? (1991). They also document Deleuze's increasing involvement with politics (Toni Negri, terrorism, etc.). The texts of Two Regimes of Madness complete those collected in Desert Islands (1953-1974). Both volumes were conceived by the author himself to be his last. Together they provide a prodigious entry into the work of the most important philosopher of our time."--BOOK JACKET.
