reviewed Early Modern English Dialogues: Spoken Interaction as Writing on January 02, 2015 Early Modern English Dialogues: Spoken Interaction as Writing
This somewhat odd little book - a cartoon introduction to the ideas and work of Barthes - served its purpose by (a) being relatively painless to read (though the assorted phalluses - or possibly phalli - which were sprinkled liberally through what seemed like an unnecessarily large number of the drawings got a bit tedious after a while) and (b) confirming what I had already suspected, that I can comfortably leave Monsieur Barthes to the academic set and get on with my reading, without feeling unduly guilty, or worrying that I will be leaving some rich vein of meaning untapped. Not to be too critical, but most of the points that were made in this book seemed to be either glaringly obvious to anyone with half a brain, or so weirdly peculiar that nobody in their right mind would waste time worrying about them.
Perhaps if I smoked morre Gauloises, or were less gruntled, or just more generally alienated, I might have liked it more. As it was, it seemed to me to be more suited to the pseudo-intellectual set than to those who just read for the pleasure that reading brings.
Not that there's anything wrong with zat, of course.
I read it in Spanish, but doubt that I would have reacted any differently to an English version.
