Contents:
Introduction: on the secret -- "Aporetic conclusion": the law of the name -- Edmond Jabes and the question of the Jewish unhappy consciousness: reflections on deconstruction -- Deconstruction and the future of literature (or, writing in the nuclear age) -- Monstrous writing: the gift of literature.
Review: "Presented here is the fullest account to date of Derrida's unconventional understanding of literature and its importance to the development of a poststructural ethics. Kronick explains why Derrida has had such a great impact upon literary studies, and at the same time, he demonstrates how different Derrida's conception of literature is from the literary critic's. Focusing on such key topics as singularity, justice, law, aporia, and the event, this book explores the unexpected ways literature appears in Derrida's works and is tied to his major concepts."--Jacket.
