Publisher's Note
The following is not exactly a dialogue, although in places it resembles an exchange that might actually have taken place between two interlocutors. Yet, one will notice as well a certain inconstancy in this resemblance. It is perhaps a typographical rather than a dialogic form that has imposed itself here, the back and forth of more than one 'voice' requiring the convention of blank intervals across the page. These, in turn, could be thought of as the slats of a Venetian blind, or a jalousie, which partially obstructs the view.

Twenty-two essays and excerpts from the writing of influential French philosopher Jacques Derrida over the last 25 years. Each selection is introduced by the volume editor, as are each of the five organizing sections. The general introduction offers an overview of Derrida's work and philosophy.
