By Colin Davis

Book Overview

This lucidly written book looks at the interpretative audacity of five major "overreaders"-Jacques Derrida, Gilles Deleuze, Emmanuel Levinas, Slavoj Zizek and Stanley Cavell-and asks what is at stake and what is to be gained by their approaches to literature and film.
