There are essays too on linguistics (Saussure, Benveniste, Austin) and on the nature of metaphor (White Mythology), the latter with important implications for literary theory. Derrida is fully in control of a dazzling stylistic register in this booka source of true illumination for those prepared to follow his arduous path. Bass is a superb translator and annotator.
