Having recently read Blanchot for the first time, I would urge you to reconsider. He is is a deep thinker and a wonderful writer (and nowhere near as obtuse as I imagined, based on lectures like this). Perhaps you would do better to let Blanchot himself try to convince you. I doubt Fynsk could convince me that Shakespeare is worth reading...
After listening to this short lecture of Fynsk I ask myself: can I trust this Blanchot. Is it worthwhile to spend a lot of energy and time on his books? Fynsk didn't convince me.
