Table of ContentsReviewsOffers the reader the depth and breadth that only an eminent professor of literature and someone who has been a reader and interlocutor of Derrida for decades could offer. - Pleshette DeArmitt, University of Memphis A record of a forty-year friendship marked by profound hospitality on both sides, For Derrida moves, charms, instructs, distinguishes, and stakes out positions. Its discussions of the performative, religion, 'community,' and auto-immunity clarify Derrida's contributions with subtlety and an almost allegorically unassuming style. - Haun Saussy, Yale University Offers the reader the depth and breadth that only an eminent professor of literature and someone who has been a reader and interlocutor of Derrida for decades could offer. -Pleshette DeArmitt, University of Memphis A classic example of 'late Miller', For Derrida effortlessly links close readings of literary with philosophical works, while also reflecting on the ways in which teletechnology and cyberspace affect and tap into the proceedings.
