The essay "Tympan" at the start of "Margins of Philosophy" was my 
initiation and provides a compact appetizer of the Derridean method. 
Given that it includes the ear in its figuration, a connection is 
even made to sound.  I recall that a favorite philosophy professor of 
mine had noted somewhat parenthetically that he found it difficult to 
trust Derrida given the latter's views on music, although I never 
managed to identify the troublesome references.
