Derrida

From the University of Chicago Press, Religion and Postmodernism Series:

The Gift of Death,
by Jacques Derrida

See also my note “Last-Minute Shopping”
of December 20, 2002, and my note
“An Anti-Christmas Present” of June 25, 2002.

On the bright side: Berrie joins comedians
W. C. Fields and Charlie Chaplin,
who also died on Christmas Day. 
“Dying is easy; comedy is hard.”
