I am reading 李劼's writing on 9/11. If i am not mistaken, he says: 'what 9/11 really swept away irreversibly is Jacques Derrida's dominant position in US intellectuals rhetoric discourse."
I've read but one or two books by Derrida. My first impression of linking 9/11 with impotent intellectual life in US is brilliant but why picking on Derrida?
