Lyautey-Charlus Book

One star is probably unfair as this is clearly an academic text and I was reading it for pleasure, but there is something to be said for converting a doctoral thesis into a readable book. As it is, it just served as a reminder to me of all the reasons I did not pursue a higher degree in literature once I finished my B.A. However, if you're in academia and you're not yet post-deconstructionism, this book offers some compelling reasons for why you should be. (Point of interest, does *anybody* still teach deconstructionism? Is it disavowed like the Chinese do with their dissidents or is it just one way of analyzing a text?
