Following Attridge's (2005) insightful essay, this article also returns to Foe, and appropriates Grabe's (1989: 176) observation that "the Derridean notion of the textualisation of all experience" informs the work, and therefore rereads it as a commentary on, and critique of, one of Jacques Derrida's most influential essays, "La Pharmacie de Platon".
Strong's Derridean impulse to draw attention to characters on the "fringes" is interesting, but she seems to operate under the assumption that the validity of her readings is dependent upon her ability to disparage the critics who preceded her.
But, as Foster shows, the avant-garde to come is not of the Derridean a-venir kind, which is always shaping up and "never quite that," always eluding determinate designation.
