Volume 2 has been out (in translation) for about a year. There is not a
lot new in it, but it does group essays together in a rather useful
manner. The earlier essays on literature are there (e.g., "A Preface to
Transgression," "The Father's 'No'," "Language to Infinity," etc.).
Perhaps more importantly, there are a few essays that have been somewhat
difficult to acquire in English, such as "My Body, This Paper, This
Fire" (Foucault's response to Derrida's "Cogito and the History of
Madness"), as well a few essays that, to my knowledge, have not appeared
in English. I suppose one could argue about the composition of the
text, but I believe this and volume I are invaluable, if for no other
reason than they bring various essays under one roof.
