(Foucault was on the editorial board.) Its title,  \n\"Forget Foucault, \" left little doubt about the author's intentions . It wasn't just a critique of the book, but a pamphlet challenging his entire oeuvre . The essay was never published in Critique. It came out instead, separately, as a book a few months later.  \nForget Foucault,2 to my mind, is by far the best introduction to Baudrillard's work. I intended to publish it among the first three books of the new \"Foreign Agents\" series, which started in 1983, but the attack on Foucault made it a bit problematic. Taking on a fellow philosopher publicly, let alone a philosopher of Foucault's stature, was something rare, and not only in France . Instead I published Baudrillard's Simulations, which became a best-seller of sorts, especially in the art world. Foucault's death one year later further delayed the publication of the pamphlet. It was finally  \n1. Michel Foucault, History ofSexuality, 1: The Will to Knowledge [HS], tr. Robert Hurley, New York, Pantheon, (French, 1 976) 1980.  \n2. Jean Baudrillard, Dublier Foucault, Paris, Galilee, 1977.  \nreleased in English in 1987 with a double title: Forget Foucault/ Forget Baudrillard and a reversible cover, as if one cover could cancel the other out, making it less sacrilegious. \"Forget Baudrillard\" was a long dialogue I had with Baudrillard in 1984 , four years after we first met in Los Angeles and discussed the project . This series of mishaps and postponements both in France and in the United States, has a lot to do with the peculiar strategy Baudrillard inaugurated with this pamphlet.  \nBaudrillard wrote it shortly after publishing Symbolic Exchange and Death,3 the most sweeping exposition of his main thesis until then. Few people realized how closely the two books were connected. Interestingly, Symbolic Exchange was released by Editions Gallimard in the same renowned series, Bibliotheque des Scienceshumaines [Library of the Human Sciences] as was Foucault's The  \nOrder ofThings.4 The two books, however, didn't elicit a compara  \nble reaction, or fire the same intense controversies.
