'Excellent, strong, clear and original' - Jacques Derrida - speaking about this volume; 'A strong, inventive and daring book thatdoes much more than most introductions are capable of dreaming'-Diane Elam, Cardiff University; 'Readers couldn't ask for a more authoritative and knowledgeable guide. Although there is no playing down of the immensity of Derrida's work, Royle's direct and often funny mode of address will make it less threatening than it can often appear to beginners.' - Derek Attridge
