The “Grand Finale” is none other than death. It’s that great moment when the Subject that speaks, the Discourse and the Word are irremediably abolished. And when the Interlocutor is orphaned, because they no longer have anyone from whom to claim desire. Death is therefore the last tool of the revolutionary impulse. These and other mysteries are the secrets guarded by the Great and Very Illustrious Fraternity of Dead Animals.
