Recenzje

'These books, more revenant that remnant, demonstratea body of work that will not lie down, that continues its conversation with culture and the real, and reasserts deconstruction as being not a fad whose time has come, but a way of noticing what goes on when we use language now and then, as it happens, when it counts.'

- John Coyle, Glasgow University, Scotland
