Critics Review
” Lynes is one of the most important new voices in Derrida studies. In this monumental new work, he takes on the challenge of bringing deconstruction into sustained dialogue with speculative realism and does so with impressive dexterity and erudition.” - Graham Harman, Southern California Institute of Architecture, Los Angeles
“Dearth offers a wealth of scholarship, wisdom, and enlivening thought that brings deconstruction’s legacies and aftermaths into the twenty-first century. Marrying archival research with rigorous analysis, Dearth is an essential text in eco-deconstruction, environmental philosophy, and the history of ideas. Essential reading for anyone curious or troubled about the relationship between philosophy and the fate of a damaged planet.” - Claire Colebrook, Penn State University
