Review
"This is a great book--flawed, impossible, infuriating, and moving . . . but
he has accomplished in this extraordinary book something finer than mere
polemic. En route to his last painful discovery, Barthes takes the reader on
an exquisitely rendered, lyrical journey into the heart of his own life and
the medium he came to love, a medium that flirts constantly with the
'intractable reality' of the human condition."--Douglas Davis, Newsweek
