This represents the worst possible reading of Derrida that has, perhaps, ever been allowed in print. He claims that Derrida, de Man, and other deconstructionists want a stable world, and are like children complaining that things are not going their way. I cannot imagine a more incorrect reading. It should be noted that early on in the book he says that he cannot understand Derrida, so the question is: Why is he attempting to make any statement about his work and what it may or may not be after. I am furthered amazed to hear that he was a teacher at Yale.

Avoid this book, or better yet, take it upon yourself and read the book and and write another bad review. It is too bad you cannot give zero stars.
