Derrida

To pretend, I actually do the thing: I have therefore only pretended to pretend.
He was so influential that last year a film was made about his life - a biographical documentary.
At one point, wandering through Derrida's library, one of the filmmakers asks him: "Have you read all the books in here?" "No," he replies impishly, "only four of them. But I read those very, very carefully".

Deconstructed?*

(*apologies to all for a weak and childish joke, but perhaps Jacques would have enjoyed it?)
