Jacques Derrida (1930-2004) was the most original and inspiring
writer and philosopher of our time. In a series of distinctive
essays that are at once self-contained and intricately linked,
Royle explores the legacies of Derrida's thinking in the context of
philosophy, language, globalisation, war, terrorism, justice, the
democracy to come, poetry, literature, memory, mourning, the gift,
friendship and dreams. Lucid, inventive and at times funny, Royle
allows us to appreciate how much Derrida's work has altered the
ways we read and think. Autobiography, children's literature, the
Gothic and modernist fiction, for example, figure together with
philosophy, queer studies, speech act theory and psychoanalysis.
The writings of Horace Walpole, Herman Melville, E. M. Forster,
Elizabeth Bowen, Joe Brainard and David McKee are illuminatingly
put in play alongside Shakespeare. Royle's book suggests that one
of Derrida's most profound legacies has to do with the combination
of responsibility and freedom his work inspires for both reading
and writing. In Memory of Jacques Derrida offers an exceptionally
clear overview of Derrida's work, while also tracing directions in
which it might productively be read in the future.
