"An excellent collection of pieces by Barthes, including the key essays "Introduction to a Structural Analysis of Narrative" and "Writers, Intellectuals, Teachers". Barthes was always at his best in shorter pieces, and this collection contains lovely examples of his writing."
"So many festive, resplendent and juicy relations to ideas, for you to dip your toes in and savor at will. Prepare yourself for the "ecstatic experience of understanding" and the occasional "moment of gentle apocalypse.""
