Matchbook consists of nine essays written around, or in response
to, work published by Jacques Derrida since 1980. The focal point
of the essays is the "Envois," which forms part of Derrida's Post
Card. Particular attention is paid to how that text articulates
with the ethical and political emphases of Derrida's more recent
work, but also to its autobiographical conceit. The "incendiary"
reference of the book's title underscores deconstruction's
engagement with questions of reading: relations between (slow)
reading and the speed of technology, and the political effects of
an internationalized deconstruction in a globalized culture. It is
in terms of what deconstruction can have us think about the speed
of technology and technologies of reading that Derrida's work has
made one of its most important contributions to philosophy and
literary and cultural studies. The book concentrates on that as
proof of the continued relevance of such work.
