Abstract
How might we think about the death of the French philosopher Gilles Deleuze as we mark the 20th anniversary of his suicide? Or, to put it another way: If one’s death is simply a personal event in the chronological order of things — the inevitable unfolding of our limited time on earth — how might we now write about Deleuze’s life, his influence since his death, and the at times troubling canonization of Deleuze as a singular figure in the history of thought? It is tempting to go even further: What might be said about Deleuze today that hasn’t already been said many times before?
