Gregory Flaxman is associate professor of English and comparative literature and an adjunct professor of communications at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. He is the editor of The Brain Is the Screen: Deleuze and the Philosophy of Cinema (Minnesota, 2000).

"This book is a tour de force through Deleuze’s itinerary, with and without Guattari, and it is singularly Deleuzean in form as well as expression: which is to say that Gregory Flaxman’s method of ‘interpretation’ is in fact the style of philosophical interpretation ‘invented’ by Deleuze himself, and one that has under-explored ties to fabulation, the powers of the false." -Jeffrey T. Nealon, Penn State University "Deleuze once defined the task of philosophy as requiring ‘someone-if only one-with the necessary modesty of not managing to know what everyone knows.’ Gilles Deleuze and the Fabulation of Philosophy returns us to Deleuze as the contemporary thinker who, more than any other, takes up that task. In lucid and yet forceful prose, Gregory Flaxman recalls and places before us the Deleuze of invention, the Deleuze who harnesses the resources of the false in order to create anew. Rather than simply repeating what Deleuze says, this powerful work invites us to enter the world of experimentation that Deleuze ceaselessly makes his own." -Todd May, Clemson University
