[Jandek] Jandek and Jacques Derrida

[Mike F.]

So Jacques Derrida, the father of deconstructionalist theory, passed away this week. Upon his passing, the New York Time published a not-so-flattering obituary for him. A whole bunch of folks signed a letter addressed to the editors of the Times, and wouldn’t you know it, our boy’s name is included!

The letter (and list of signers, which is pretty entertaining, too) can be seen at http://www.humanities.uci.edu/remembering_jd/index.php
