first american edition, 1972.

translated and annotated by alan bass.

three revealing interviews with the philosopher jacques derrida offer a clearer understanding of the complex ideas that shape his renowned works "writing and difference" and "dissemination." in these dialogues, derrida responds to critics and supporters alike, while engaging with two central currents of french intellectual life: marxism and psychoanalysis.

through discussions with henri ronse, julia kristeva, and jean-louis houdebine, derrida articulates his philosophical stance on language, linguistics, and the contentious debates surrounding his work. each interview serves as a prism through which his often-elusive theories become more approachable, shedding light on the underpinnings of deconstruction.

bass's translation, praised for its clarity and precision, is accompanied by insightful critical notes that provide essential historical context.
