A review by rodrigoparis
Mythologies by Roland Barthes

3.0

Barthes lives in a myth, portraying it into a world that looses meaning. This book is a desperate cry for the creation of secular meaning, he fails at this, not only through his "myths" but also though a very constrictive conception of semiotics.
Language may be dynamic and alive in myth but once Barthes grabs it, it dies of sorrow.
