Abstract:
Pursuing themes of love and infidelity, this performative, post-critical essay demonstrates the "postal effect," theorized and practiced in Jacques Derrida's The Post Card, and exhibits how the epistolary genre—its lost love letters and perfidious postcards, always already errant, straying—foregrounds Derrida's approaches to the writings of James Joyce.
