  2. Dissemination

    “The English version of Dissemination [is] an able translation by Barbara Johnson . . . . Derrida’s central contention is that language is haunted by dispersal, absence, loss, the risk of unmeaning, a risk which is starkly embodied in all writing. The distinction between philosophy and literature therefore becomes of secondary importance. Philosophy vainly attempts to control the irrecoverable dissemination of its own meaning, it strives—against the grain of language—to offer a sober revelation of truth. Literature—on the other hand—flaunts its own meretriciousness, abandons itself to the Dionysiac play of language. In Dissemination—more than any previous work—Derrida joins in the revelry, weaving a complex pattern of puns, verbal echoes and allusions, intended to ’deconstruct’ both the pretension of criticism to tell the truth about literature, and the pretension of philosophy to the literature of truth.”—Peter Dews, New Statesman

  3. Games Authors Play

    "This is the first book to look at the relationship between author and reader in terms of a 'game'. It directs attention to the various means by which an author will 'play' with his reader, and gives examples of the different degrees to which authors of all countries and of all ages have sought to puzzle, to intrigue, or to vex." (Back cover.)
