The Logic of Sense

Gilles Deleuze | 2021

(0 Ratings)

Book Favorite

"Deleuze interrogates language revealing all its inescapable paradoxes, distinctions, irresolutions and contradictions. The book begins with Louis Carol’s “Alice in Wonderland” and her confusion with language, and immediately moves into the Stoic’s definition of the effect of words and events, including sense and nonsense. All words, all logical representations are challenged. This book is a mind bender and a must-read."

No words to describe any of this movie

There is absolutely no words to describe this movie, my eyes rolled out of my head more times than I can count at the language. And that sex scene had me rolling with laughter and my jaw on the ground in amusement. It will forever be engrained in my memory.

Not the best memoir I've read

This is a memoir about the author growing up in a working class family in Glasgow. I read this as part of my dissertation on memoir but was deeply disappointed. The childhood language and the adult language are disjointed, the transitions from the adult self and the child self are awkward and the story (for me) was flat. That's not to say its a terrible book. Some of the memories are sweet, vivid and well put together.
