Is there life after theory? If the death of the Author has now been
followed by the death of the Theorist, what's left? Indeed, who's
left? To explore such riddles, this volume brings together
interviews with four theorists who are left, each a major figure in
their own right: Jacques Derrida, Frank Kermode, Toril Moi and
Christopher Norris. Framed and introduced by Michael Payne and John
Schad, the interviews pursue a whole range of topics, both familiar
and unfamiliar. Among other things, Derrida, Kermode, Moi and
Norris discuss being an outsider, taking responsibility, valuing
books, getting angry, doing science, listening to music,
remembering Empson, rereading de Beauvoir, being Jewish, asking
forgiveness, smoking in libraries, befriending the dead, committing
bigamy, forgetting to forget, thinking, not thinking, believing and
being mad. These four key thinkers explore why there is life after
theory. But not as we know it.
