What I find most troubling about this piece, is not what it says or does not say about Derrida, but how the author allies with Dahmer to make a point. Sorry, Paul. Maybe it should be recast w/ Hannibal Lector--who kept intruding all the way through, anyway. After all, Lector's more of the intellectual than (I presume) Dahmer was; and, he didn't have real victims.
The satire isn't coming through so much as the disdain--for the reality of either D.
