Indeed it is (hats off to the good Dr. Kritzman). Although _Foucault
Live_ certainly contains a larger volume of interviews, I have found the
translations sketchy. To all of you who read French, take a look at
_Dits and Ecrits: 1954-1988_, a four volume collection containing almost
all of the essays, interviews, and other works not of book length. The
publisher is Gallimard (1994). In my experience, these interviews are
absolutely vital to an understanding of the Foucauldian project as well
as the individual works.
Similarly, one should not overlook _I, Pierre Riviere, having
slaughtered my mother, my sister, and my brother...", a text which
includes the original documentary sources on which Foucault and others
base an analysis which picks up threads useful to those struggling with
_Madness and Civilization_ and _Discipline and Punish_.
Coincidentally, could anyone give me their evaluation of _Resume
des cours, 1970-1982_, which is billed as a summary of Foucault's
teachings at the College de France in that period?
