dfolivieri's review against another edition
Turns out that Deconstruction is basically the "stop hitting yourself" of literary criticism. Taking the text's own language, metaphors, and figures of speech and showing how they don't mean what the writer likely intended for them to mean. I can imagine Derrida deconstructing this very review. Taking apart my analogy of "stop hitting yourself" and showing how it personifies the text, how it's nothing more than rhetoric.
