The world of literary criticism is a whole lot less weird:
French philosopher Jacques Derrida, the founder of the school of deconstructionism, has died of cancer at the age of 74, France Info radio said on Saturday.
Of course, this is assuming "death" means anything in our Western, white, male-dominated culture. (Ha! Post-structuralist humour! I kill me.)
At least now Derrida joins the ranks of Dead White Guys and we can ignore him.
