Description
The law of hospitality is profoundly beautiful and embodies all that is good and decent about us. It is the spirit of human co-existence made visible and recognisable. It is also however impossible, unfeasible, infuriating to abide by, especially for those attempting to eke out a living from it. I will address the challenges associated with the rules and customs of hospitality, in a letter addressed to philosopher, Jacques Derrida.
