This text seeks to depict Deleuze's surface of thought between philosophy and literature in the transformations and alternations between conceptual and aesthetic figures. Through literary texts it develops Deleuze's conception of language, which must be understood on the basis of its topological boundary and in tension with the Saussurean model of language as a homogeneous system. Poetic speech (parole) can therefore only be defined formally, by its ability to produce foreignness inside language and push it into delirium. The whole text can be read as establishing surface directions that lead from structure to boundary, from system to production and from meaning to sense, forming the Deleuzian plane of immanence. The latter is on the side of multiplicity and becoming. Becoming is thus a fundamental concept: it represents the intersections of Deleuze's early and late works, critique and clinic, Kant and Nietzsche, literary and clinical cases, right down to the politics of writing. Becoming, which is on the side of life and health, is Being, whose privileged surface of emergence is a work of art. On its surface the literary text can through reterritorialisations in language, which are the result of fabulation and the effects of syntax, push the actual forms into becoming. Critique, which is also on the side of life and production for the peoples, who are yet to emerge, is able to detect this health in literature. Against this background, Deleuze's thought can be perceived as a series of intersecting series or flows which, by their direction, allow us to orient ourselves in thinking.
