As one of the first translators of Jacques Derrida's work into English, she in effect introduced his work to the American academy. Avital Ronell's work, thoroughly transdisciplinary, consistently slips the bounds of traditional academic castes, earning her accolades from often disparate spheres of the cultural milieu. A hybrid of high theory and street talk, Avital Ronell's texts are remarkable both for what they say and for the extraordinary way in which they say it.
Avital Ronell's published work includes Dictations: On Haunted Writing (1986), Telephone Book (1989), Crack Wars: Literature, Addiction, Mania (1993), and The UberReader (2007). She has also translated important works from French, including Derrida's The Ear of the Other.
