Review
"Perhaps the best introduction to date on Barthes and his work." --
Scott Montgomery, The Bloomsbury Review
Book Description
This book brings together the great majority of Barthes's interviews that originally appeared in French in
Le Figaro Littéraire, Cahiers du Cinéma, France-Observateur, L'Express, and elsewhere. Barthes replied to questions--on the cinema, on his own works, on fashion, writing, and criticism--in his unique voice; here we have Barthes in conversation, speaking directly, with all his individuality. These interviews provide an insight into the rich, probing intelligence of one of the great and influential minds of our time.
