  This book combines loosely autobiographical texts by two of the most influential French intellectuals of our time. Savoir, by Helene Cixous is an account of her experience of recovered sight after a lifetime of severe myopia; Jacques Derrida's A Silkworm of One's Own muses on a host of motifs, including his varied responses to Savoir.
