description The question of the relationship between time and literature has long been the subject of discussions by various thinkers and philosophers. One of the contemporary writers whose works manifestly presents such as the French writer and thinker, Maurice Blanchot. The purpose of the present paper is to examine this relationship in Blanchot's works. A careful study of his fiction reveals the evolution that took place, in the first place, in his understanding of the question of time, and secondly in his continual attempt to challenge the views of other thinkers on the same subject, an attempt which has seemingly led Blanchot to a new formulation of the concept of time. An elaboration on this requires tracing the idea back to the definitions and discussions found among his endless dialogues with the other contemporary writers and thinkers (especially with his famous friend Emmanuel Levinas).
