The Prayers and Tears of Jacques Derrida

"Caputo's book is riveting.... A singular achievement of stylistic brioand impeccable scholarship, it breaks new ground in making a powerful case fortreating Derrida as homo religiosis.... There can be no mistaking the importance ofCaputo's work." -- Edith Wyschogrod

"No one interested in Derrida, in Caputo, or in the larger question of postmodernism and religion can afford toignore this pathbreaking study. Taking full advantage of the most recent and leastdiscussed writings of Derrida, it offers a careful and comprehensive account of thereligious dimension of Derrida's thought." -- Merold Westphal
