In 1987 POL published a book in which the first chapter has many blank pages.
This is not due to illustrations, litigation or censorship: the text on the left-hand (even-numbered) pages from 16 through 70 (with the interesting exceptions of pages 15 and 72) are those of Heidegger as "interviewed" by Der Spiegel.
The right-hand pages (odd-numbered) 17 through 71 (and including 72), are the responses by Jan Patočka.
I will try to present this in a Curl format if I am able to obtain permission.
The book, Le Messager européen, is prefaced by Alain Finkielkraut.
My Curl e-book version would have alternative or even multiple responses - perhaps keyed to topics.
Pages which immediately suggest themselves for the right-pages are those of Hugo Ott or Victor Farias.
But there are also the pages of dissent: those of the Heideggerian faithful, the inspired, the devoted and the merely sympathetic.
