This reader brings together selected (complete or self-contained) texts which are not generally anthologised, particularly those which deal with specifically literary writers and literary topics. The collection focuses on a number of texts which address French writers and writers in French, such as Valéry, Rousseau, Lévi-Strauss, Baudelaire, Mallarmé, while also addressing other concerns prominent throughout Derrida's career as a writer, such as Plato, Freud and Marx.
