Unlike deconstruionnists as portrayed in the media, Derrida doesn't care at all about the author, or about what he said. What the author want to convey or want to explain does not matter. You can read Emma Goldman as a disapointed revolutionnary, or you can read her book as a description of the failing of the Russian revolution from a specific point of view. What this point of view isn't "Emma Goldman" herself but discovered by reading the book itself. In a perfect world, i should have read her without knowing her wikipedia page to be able to deconstruct "My Life". I do not have the time to do so (and i already know her wikipedia page, so i would be biased).
