Bibliography
Daney published four books during his lifetime which are collections of his articles:
- La Rampe (Gallimard/Cahiers du cinéma, 1983)
- Ciné-journal (Cahiers du cinéma, 1986)
- Le Salaire du zappeur (P.O.L., 1988)
- Devant la recrudescence des vols des sacs à main (Aléas, 1991)
He also published a little-known book called "Procès à Baby Doc, Duvalier père et fils", a 1973 polemic against the Duvalier regime in Haiti written under the pseudonym Raymond Sapène.
In the years after his death, several other books have been released:
- L'exercice a été profitable, Monsieur (P.O.L, 1993), a collection of the notes he took while watching French television in the early 1990s.
- Persévérance (P.O.L, 1994), Daney's last project for a complete book for which he wrote the first chapter - the rest being the transcript of an interview with Serge Toubiana. It has been translated in English as Postcards from the Cinema (Berg, 2007).
- L'amateur de tennis (P.O.L, 1994), a selection of articles he wrote in Liberation about tennis matches.
- L’itinéraire d'un ciné-fils (Editions Jean-Michel Place, 1999), the transcript of the eponymous TV documentary.
