Total, this can be a sample to which Derrida: A Biography remains true throughout. Aside from private traumas, and despite moments of pleasure such as the 1981 arrest in Prague when visiting to give covert seminars on behalf of the Jan Hus Education Basis - and a public punch-up with Bernard-Henri L騅y - general, as one might well expect, Derrida: A Biography presents a welltravelled life, however not one that gives a lot of a rival for, say, Ray Monk’s Ludwig Wittgenstein as the premise for a web page-turning read.
