“Pierre Klossowski (August 9, 1905, Paris – August 12, 2001, Paris) was a French writer, translator and artist. Michel Foucault noted in a letter that Klossowski’s book “La Monnaie vivante” is the most sublime book of our era. Pierre Klossowski wrote full length volumes on the Marquis de Sade and Friedrich Nietzsche, a number of essays on literary and philosophical figures, and five novels. “Roberte Ce Soir” (Roberte in the Evening) provoked controversy due to its graphic depiction of sexuality. He translated several important texts (by Virgil, Ludwig Wittgenstein, Martin Heidegger, Friedrich Hölderlin, Franz Kafka, Nietzsche, and Walter Benjamin) into French, worked on films and was also an artist, illustrating many of the scenes from his novels. Klossowski participated in most issues of George Bataille’s review, Acéphale, in the late 1930s. His 1969 book, “Nietzsche and the Vicious Circle”, greatly influenced French philosophers such as Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze, and Jean-François Lyotard. Klossowski also appeared in Robert Bresson’s film “Au hasard Balthazar”…” [Wikipédia]
