Derrida: A Biography
By Benoît Peeters (Translated by Andrew Brown)
A sure sign of a compelling biography is when you throw the book down in disbelief: ‘So you mean she was having an affair with him?!’ (I actually blurted this out, to the consternation of fellow train passengers.) I happened to know both of them. She was a German specialist who liked to have conversations about Kafka and Nietzsche. I used to play football with him. You’d think one of them might have mentioned it.
