"The prologue and opening and closing chapters are satisfyingly clarifying and surprisingly moving … the end of the world of each person leaves traces, Derrida believed, and Saghafi's book serves Derrida's traces as well readers." — CHOICE"Saghafi's book makes a remarkable contribution as a coming-to-terms with interminable mourning." — Peggy Kamuf, author of To Follow: The Wake of Jacques Derrida
