Probably my favorite book by Barthes. A wonderful in-depth (re-)read of Balzac's "Sarrasine."

This might be craziest piece of literary theory I've ever read.

ONLY read this if you are into literary theory and are interested in the art of reading, re-reading, re-reading some more, and then still wondering what in the hell the author was trying to say.

Really interesting concept, would be intrigued to see it applied to a full novel instead of something short like the Sarrasine

Reading this in undergrad changed how I think about language - Thank you D.A. Miller. I hope Berkeley was worth it
