Tzvetan Todorov is one of Europe’s leading intellectuals. Beyond his work in cultural and literary theory, philosophy and psychoanalysis, Todorov’s influence is extraordinarily far-reaching specifically because of the clarity of his writing and his refusal to be bound by systems of thought and disciplinary straitjackets. `Duties and Delights’ presents a series of interviews with Tzvetan Todorov which illuminate the paths that he has taken, the paths that he has crossed and the paths that he has opened up for others.
