I think it was called _Deconstruction and the Fall of Paul deMan_.  I can't
remember who the author was, but the book was a good read a-and a useful
cautionary tale for those who (like me) find using the jargon, now and then
just a little, to be a sort of cheap thrill.  I thought its critique of
deconstruction was worthwhile too.  If it weren't for a whole stack of books
waiting to be read for the first time, I'd like to re-read it.
