What a strange and charming little book this is. As a first impression of Derrida, it tells me what his deal is. He is certainly an acquired taste. Auto-reflexive polysemic (never polemic) meta-discourse seems to be his shtick, which, for something like "the archive", is literary and cute. Which is altogether what I was looking for, really. The Judaic and psychoanalytic lenses in particular tickle my fancy, too.
