Review # 1 was written on 2012-05-22 00:00:00 Heath Rosier If you're unfortunate enough to have to do literary theory, this book will be your best friend. It does especially well at making sense of massive assholes, including (but no means limited to) Derrida, Foucault, Lyotard, Barthes, Lacan (notice how they're all French? I'm seeing a pattern here) and many other academics who were unfortunately allowed to write their ideas down and call them "theories."

Review # 2 was written on 2007-08-12 00:00:00 Amanda Tarter Plenty of good reading in here, but they could have covered so much more if they had restricted the entries to phone numbers and addresses.
