Didier Eribon...has produced an astonishingly readable account of the man and his ideas , which is also in many ways an intellectual history of postwar France, so wide a trail did Foucault blaze in his time...Eribon's sensitive, lucid and wide-ranging intellectual biography gives us both an appealingly personal view of this quirky and brilliant man, and also a sense of his true stature. --Thomas Frick, Los Angeles Times Book Review
Foucault is well served by his biographer, who has not hesitated to paint a warts-and-all portrait of his complicated, sometimes contradictory, subject. Eribon's book offers readers not only a fascinating account of Foucault's life and work, but a first-class short course in the contemporary French literary scene. --Ron Grossman, Chicago Tribune
A striking biography. --Alan Ryan, New York Review of Books
Eribon offers not only a vivid, timely, detailed portrait of an enigmatic and ambiguous man but also a thoroughly accurate description of the French intellectual world, with all its rituals and fetishes. The book holds our attention like a good novel. --Pierre Bourdieu
