About the book
"How does one address the coming of the future? This book proposes to evade the common habit of conceiving of the future as a historically determined dimension, focusing instead on what Jacques Derrida calls the 'to come', (l'a-venir). In order to achieve this, the book concentrates on the act of translation. It addresses not the future of translation, but its deployment in time. Overall, it provides an original introduction to the work of two contemporary French thinkers (Malabou and Nancy), an unusual insight into the later work of Derrida, and makes a creative contribution to the way deconstruction addresses the issue of futurity in the act of writing and translation."--Jacket.
