If you published a print review of a text by Derrida in a language other than English, please consider sending it if you retain the rights to your piece: I may re-post it on this site. Anyone who wants to volunteer translating these short pieces into other languages, please go ahead and send me your translations; here is a review (in German) of Derrida's Some Statements and Truisms... by Georg Stanitzek, which originally appeared in Texte zur Kunst, Nr. 28, 7. Jg., 1997, 117-119.
After the recently updated bibliographies, the most popular pages here are still the Obituaries, and the website FAQ.
