"(Thank God it wasn’t a dragon tattoo.) This volume contains the gorgeous, 1,001 Nights-like castrati story Sarrasine, the one that inspired Roland Barthes’ S/Z. A great introduction to le Maitre."
"Before I discovered Roland Barthes, Foucault and Derrida, I stumbled upon this book around my parents’ house, left by my brother. It was like a light bulb going off in my head"
