بالتأكيد اسقط أحد كتبي المفضلة. أحببت الشخصيات المثيرة والإعداد الأوروبي والقصة الخيالية. لقد جعلني أرغب في زيارة مقبرة إنجليزية ودراسة ظهور الطيور أثناء الطيران.

I don't know how I missed this littheory classic until this year. I'd read "The Death of the Author," of course, and S/Z, but not this. And I loved it to pieces. It's a series of little one or two page essays, drifting over a variety of subjects, but Barthes does focus his attention on the manner in which pleasure in literary theory has been elided in favour of desire, and on the potential causes and consequences of that substitution. My favourite bit is when he talks about descriptive excess, which provokes a kind of code-changing moment of writing in which description’s very dependence on language, description’s investment in language, invests language with a sensuality that exceeds description. Anyway, it's short, and it's frequently clever, and I wish Barthes were cooler in academia than he is.
