Having once read some work by Derrida (the essay that I found quite ingenious was the one on the US Constitution, and his recent commentary on host/guest or citizen/immigrant relations is also quite interesting, perhaps in part because of his own Algerian origins), I can recommend the lucid chapter on him in Gary Gutting's French Philosophy in the Twentieth Century. The short comment on Althusser in this otherwise excellent book is however annoyingly superficial and dismissive. Gutting also does not comment (if I remember correctly) on Derrida's book on Marx, though there are two collections of essays in English, one edited by Stephen C. and one by the late Michael Sprinker. rb
