Hi Bo, although I'm not so sure I can help you with your critique, or 'alternate reading', I do, however, have a resource, or rather, a tool box, to share with you, and that is Foucault's series of essays published under the head 'Blanchot: the thought from outside'. There you will find a plethora of critical and mythical resources which will have much to offer you, I think.
