I think Julie hit it when she said she loves Derrida but doesn't know why.
IMO it's because his writing is so abstract it reaches the level of music.

Note the NYT obituary (front page) read, "Derrida, French thinker, dies".
I would have written "philospher", but perhaps "thinker" was what he was.
Note it didn't say "abstract musician", or anything like that.
So what pleases Julie is Derrida's 'chain of thinking', and the way she can
emphatise with it.
Cheers,
JL
