I didn't propose the subtitle of this essay, Beckett and Deconstruction,'2 though fortune disposes in ways that might have been foreseen. For I became a father again as I started to work on this paper. I am not speaking, as they do in deconstruction, of the paternity of the text. The major obsession of poststructuralist thought is, to be sure, the question of origins, the allure and (re)lapse of beginnings, the illusory subject of the instituting trace. But peace to Derrida. The simple fact is that my wife gave birth to a baby. I'm sure it was she, that much at least, and I'm sure I was there, though Saussure and Levi-Strauss and Lacan and Barthes have taught us to beware of pronouns
