This language, primarily the complaints and reflections of the lover when alone, not exchanges of a lover with his or her partner, is unfashionable. Though it is spoken by millions of people, diffused in our popular romances and television programs as well as in serious literature, there is no institution that explores, maintains, modifies, judges, repeats, and otherwise assumes responsibility for this discourse . . . Writing out the figures of a neglected discourse, Barthes surprises us in <i>A Lover's Discourse</i> by making love, in its most absurd and sentimental forms, an object of interest." <b>Jonathan Culler</b> 1856185 book 1977 A Lover's Discourse: Fragments total:605|5:351|4:151|3:80|2:19|1:4| 605 2641 1003 80 380994 0374521611 9780374521615 519 70 4.37 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174328552m/380994.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/380994.A_Lover_s_Discourse_Fragments 5 12 false Sat Dec 22 20:23:44 -0800 2007 Sun Dec 23 08:08:16 -0800 2007
