Regrettably, it must be said that the translation is extremely unreliable. I will note some serious problems in connection with a few passages I cite below, but I will also alter the translation without specifically noting it in every case.

It is incidentally curious to note that DeMan's second essay on Nietzsche in this volume - "Rhetoric of Persuasion (Nietzsche)" - which elaborates the "rhetorical" character of Nietzsche's critique of metaphyiscs, opens with a reference to Fink's Nietzsche, though without specific page numbers and without any real indication of why the book is being mentioned.
