About the Author

Roland Barthes (1915-1980) was a French cultural and literary critic, whose clever and lyrical writings on semiotics made structuralism one of the leading movements of the twentieth century. Barthes had a cult following and published seventeen books, including Camera Lucida, Mythologies, and A Lover's Discourse.

Reviews

"A revelation to readers of the great Barthes." --Judith Thurman, The New Yorker podcast "This book's unvarnished quality is the source of its wrecking cumulative power. Barthes's ironic intellect is here wrapped around his nakedly beating heart." --Dwight Garner, The New York Times "Precise and touching memories intersect with spare and at times desperate notes on time, death and grief, written despite 'the fear of making literature out of it.'" --Julian Barnes, The Times Literary Supplement "A collection of aphorisms, sadnesses, self-analysis: a journal of savage intimacy." --Adam Thirlwell, The New Republic "A beautiful, lapidary portrait of mourning." --Meghan O'Rourke, Slate
