Summary:
"A landmark biography that reveals the secret past of one of the most influential academics of the twentieth century. Over thirty years after his death in 1983,
Paul
de
Man
, a hugely charismatic intellectual who created with deconstruction an ideology so pervasive that it threatened to topple the very foundations of literature, remains a haunting and still largely unexamined figure. Deeply influential,
de
Man
and his theory-driven philosophy were so dominant that his passing received front-page coverage, suggesting that a cult hero, if not intellectual rock star, had met an untimely end. Yet in 1988,
de
Man
's reputation was ruined when it was discovered that he had written an anti-Semitic article and worked for a collaborating Belgium newspaper during World War II. Who was he, really, and who had he been? No one knew. Still in shock, few of his followers wanted to find out. Once an admirer, although never a theorist, the biographer Evelyn Barish began her own investigation. Relying on years of original archival work and interviews with over two hundred of
de
Man
's circle of friends and family, most of them now dead, Barish vividly re-creates this collaborationist world of occupied Belgian and France."--From publisher.
