Acknowledgements
Derrida writes that any writer, like a translator, is indebted, taxed, obligated. I certainly am, and my greatest debts are to the following people. Jerome de Groot has consistently offered advice and guidance well beyond what could be reasonably expected of him at every stage of this project. Without the individual contributions of Robert Spencer, John McAuliffe, Jeremy Tambling and Anastasia Valassopoulos, my thinking, writing and experience of literature would be greatly impoverished. Thanks also to Scott McCracken. David Firth and Sarah Newport continue to amaze me with their diligence and generosity. Thank you to the group that originally grew out of the ‘Theory After 2000’ reading group, for many kinds of support; I feel privileged to know you all and look forward to one day being ‘third from left: unknown’ in a group photo. Encouragement from Lucy Burns, Anirudha Dhanawade, Şima İmşir and Luke Healey has been particularly appreciated in the latter stages of this project. Thank you to the team at Palgrave Macmillan, particularly Allie Troyanos, Meera Mithran and Rachel Jacobe, who have been only too happy to answer my questions, no matter how pedantic. Sam Gi
