While no idea is impervious to criticism, I think Americans take those authors much more "serious" (as in their ideas as "hard truths") than them themselves take it (in France).

Derrida is pretty much Gödel's incompleteness theorem for philosophers instead of just "reducing everything to language and then making language destroy itself"
If you summarize Derrida to one or two sentences, you could say he critiqued western civilization to have a tendency for black and white thinking. Quite ironic.
