Missed this one…Quentin Meillassoux’s second book - a ‘philosophical detective story’ in the form of an analysis of Mallarmé’s famous poem Un Coup de Dés – is forthcoming in May (Urbanomic). As Deleuze once remarked ‘a book of philosophy should be in part a very particular species of detective fiction, in part a kind of science fiction’. Hopefully, that is exactly what Meillassoux offers in his further interrogation of chance, contingency and a true philosophy of the future.

UPDATE: Anthony Paul Smith (an und für sich) has written a terrific review of Meillassoux’s book.
