A review by iancarpenter
The 7th Function of Language by Laurent Binet

1.0

Abandoned. I don't see how anyone not versed in semiotics and the various theorists' dismantling of each other's ideas would enjoy this book. I spent way too many years immersed in and loving that field and still the humour of Foucault saying "forget Barthes" (because Jean Baudrillard wrote "Forget Foucault") is just way too "clever" for me. But the writing and translation are great - definitely going to check out Binet's HHhH.
