Book Summary
Jacques Derrida has argued about the difference between literature and theory
that despite its institutional status, part of its 'institution' is the right of

to be read. Like literature, it remains as an enigmatic identity, resistant to
definition, but subject to misperceptions and open to general statements that
are more or less inaccurate.
