More DescriptionThis book offers a detailed engagement between the French philosopher Jacques Derrida and the contemporary Irish author Paul Howard, aka Ross O'Carroll-Kelly. The book offers insightful analyses of Derrida's deconstructive theory with all its concepts, non-concepts and neologisms, thus showing how they can be used in order to provide a critique of the socio-linguistic realm of Howard's fictional series.

The book promotes a dialogue between Derrida and Howard in order to cultivate a succinct and accessible overview of critical theory.
