Agata Bielik-Robson is a Professor of Jewish Studies at the University of Nottingham, UK. Her publications include The Saving Lie: Harold Bloom and Deconstruction (2011), Judaism in Contemporary Thought: Traces and Influence (coedited with Adam Lipszyc, 2014), Philosophical Marranos: Jewish Cryptotheologies of Late Modernity (2014) and Another Finitude: Messianic Vitalism and Philosophy (Bloomsbury, 2019).

No one has ever tracked the figure of the Marrano through Derrida’s entire corpus—and particularly the figure of Derrida himself as Marrano—with the degree of erudition, sophistication, insightfulness, and fidelity that Agata Bielik-Robson has in this new work. It will be impossible to read Derrida on questions of religion, the secret, testimony, confession, exile, and identity, to name just a few, without taking this magnificent, magisterial book along as one’s guide.
