"Niall Lucy has written a witty, incisive, timely and highly
topical dictionary that deftly characterizes the most important
entries in Derrida's lexicon. The book is chock full of references
to contemporary film, music and politics and spares us the
tediousness of trying to formalize ideas whose very idea is that
they cannot be formalized. In addition to making for an insightful
read and a pleasurable ride, Lucy does a good job of redefining
what a “dictionary” is supposed to mean. A saucy,
sparkling success." John D. Caputo, Villanova
University
"Lucy brings and ironic, iconoclastic, and earthy approach to his teask... Entries are cleverly focused so that major terms and concepts get full attention ... Lucy is unpretentious and plain speaking... This is a well worthwhile purchase for the library where Derrida comes as new and rather threatening to students." Reference Reviews
