Review Quotes
"In the 20th century, the French essayic mind may have tunneled to its deepest riches in the works of the late Roland Barthes." --Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review)
"Barthes ... was one of the leading philosophical linguists of our time.... The book should prove an excitement for students of language." --Publishers Weekly
"Barthes' career was an exemplary search for understanding how man creates meaning.... This has been a characteristic preoccupation of our age, and no one addressed himself to it so persistently, so multifariously, so ingeniously, as Barthes." --Peter Brooks, The New Republic
"Teacher, man of letters, moralist, philospher of culture, connoisseur of strong ideas, protean autobiographer . . . of all the intellectual notables who have emerged since World War II in France, Roland Barthes is the one whose work I am most certain will endure" --Susan Sontag
