Niet alle essays zijn even relevant meer en hierdoor soms een tikkeltje saai om te lezen, maar de analyse van de mythische taal is scherp en interessant. Dit is was ik eerder had verwacht van Erich Fromm, maar dan beter.

Filling in a crucial gap in my uni reading 10 years late. The wrestling essay is superb. The astrology essay called me out

the first half is very much "grumpy old french man being snarky about everything". a lot of very specific cultural references. but the second half really brings it together into a very smart take on language and society. very influential. precursor to charles gaines' metaphor/metonymy debate.

Obviously not a PAGE TURNER but still so interesting and mind boggling and made me feel quite clever even though some essays I had no clue what was going on

There are amazing insights here that I think will be extremely useful for my thesis! Definitely a text to return to for its breakdown of semiotics.
