註釋
DERRIDA'S TOAST delivers a stark warning on the dangers of detachment and self-exile.
On the surface Larry Derrida leads a charmed life. Almost effortlessly he finds himself with a loving wife, adorable children and a lucrative career in an exhilarating city. But middle age cruelly breaks the spell with a one-two punch of disease and a crumbling global economy.
DERRIDA'S TOAST follows his unconventional reactions to illness, joblessness and an ever-changing world.
In a desperate attempt to save his life and his loved ones he uproots the family from Chicago to small town France to begin again only to realize, sadly and regrettably, that he cannot escape himself.
DERRIDA'S TOAST is a psychological and philosophical novel deconstructing the heartbreaking and solipsistic descent into depression.
