Best introduction in my opinion is Lacan's "The Instance of the Letter in the Unconscious, or Reason Since Freud." Read it with a red pen, that coming from a guy who autistically hates people that mark in their books. It will help, trust me. I would also recommend "Course in General Linguistics" by Ferdinand de Saussure. It will provide some important context. Once you're done with that, if you can stomach more of this type of psychoanalysis, go in for a full copy of Ecrits and start from the beginning. Be careful, it's a doorstopper. I haven't gotten around to my copy of ecrits yet mostly because reading this much Lacan and Saussure just set me on the track to Wittgenstein and I get very tired of Lacan assigning godlike powers to poetry whenever his prose calls for a magic trick. He does write with a bit of tongue in cheek humor that is often buried a bit deep, watch out for that and keep it in mind otherwise it can make the reading unnecessarily arcane and difficult. If you wonder if Lacan is making a funny he probably is.

Here is the full text of Instance:
