What’s harder: writing a two-volume book or getting a two-year-old to pose for a photo? Dearth: Deconstruction after Speculative Realism, Volume 2: Art and Dwelling will be available wherever books are sold May 15th from Northwestern University Press.
“Readers will be astonished by the richness of Dearth. Philippe Lynes’s two volumes, inspired by Derrida’s and Blanchot’s responses to Heidegger’s thought, analyze a number of contemporary “realisms” and “materialisms” in an effort to think anew the thing, every thing, in a time when nothing rules. A remarkable book, Dearth deserves the closest of close-readings.” —David Farrell Krell, DePaul University
“Following on from the magisterial first volume, Dearth Volume 2 provides a compendious and incisive account of the current state of play of philosophy in order to articulate a poetics and theory worthy of the twenty-first century. This book is both exegesis and provocation, at once rigorous and original.” —Claire Colebrook, Monash University
