This book explores some of the ways in which contemporary literary theory can be used to read fiction. In particular, it focuses on Thomas Pynchon's three novels to date and his collection of early stories. The theories exploited are concentrated in the work of Jacques Derrida.

Photographed using late 1940s sheet Kodachrome - a film stock that remains legendary for its tonal range, color accuracy, and detail, this book presents a gallery of hundreds of full-color photos of the stars of Hollywood's Golden Age. It features Elizabeth Taylor, Ava Gardner, Fred Astaire, Humphrey Bogart, Frank Sinatra, among others.

Matchbook consists of nine essays written around, or in response to, work published by Jacques Derrida since 1980. The focal point of the essays is the "Envois," which forms part of The Post Card (1980 in French). Particular attention is paid to how that text articulates with the ethical and political emphases of Derrida's more recent work, but also to its autobiographical conceit.
