No you just think you're a writer
I wonder how writers from before that book was published ever survived.

There were no writers before Derrida, they were simply retroactively constituted to presuppose his emergence
>Derrida
He's not even relevant in his own field any more
>they think Derrida was more than a passing fad in the American diploma mill
>they don't know that no one is using Derrida anymore

ITT: Dick measuring contest.
No; I haven't read your stupid book and now you've mentioned it I will buy it so I can keep it on one of my bookshelves and not read it for every single day of my life as I call you a faggot and bitchlap you with every other book I read. This will become a ritual every writer will have to do to consider himself the real deal: grab the nearest pretentious cunt and his favorite book and show him you don't need his judgement nor his pity nor some self-help book for /r9k/ tier writers without enough self-esteem to look at their own reflection and claim with no fear of the masses or the so-called intellectuals and their "holier than thou" attitude: I am a writer.
Fuck you.

The only mention of Derrida I heard in four years of English was Freshman critical theory, a brief historical footnote along with Lacan and the rest of the gibberish-peddling retard brigade.

Derrida, Marx, Freud and Wittgenstein are the 'elite four' of philosophy.

this is a joke, right?

Enough already of Lacan, Derrida, and Foucault poured like ketchup over everything. Lacan: the French fog machine; a grey-flannel worry-bone for toothless academic pups; a twerpy, cape-twirling Dracula dragging his flocking stooges to the crypt. Lacan is a Freud T-shirt shrunk down to the teeny-weeny Saussure torso. The entire school of Saussure, inluding Levi-Strauss, write their muffled prose of people with cotton wool wrapped around their heads; they're like walking Q-tips. Derrida: a Gloomy Gus one-trick pony, stuck on a rhetorical trope already available in the varied armory of New Criticism. Derrida's method: masturbating without pleasure. It's a birdbrain game for birdseed stakes. Neo-Foucaldian New Historicism: a high-wax bowling alley where you score points just by knockng down the pins.
