I felt I understood it better than the last time I dipped into theory. And recently reading Derrida the same. Although I still don't "comprehend" it completely. I think I am getting a sense for the method and the way the terms and the references interact or react to each other. Also I think de Man is usually easier for me. Also, I tried reading Kristeva's first novel recently, not sure why people liked it. Pretty dry.
