Re: What are you reading?
[quote user="Faust"]The World, the Text, and the Critic - Edward Said
[/quote]</P>
<P mce_keep="true"></P>
The same Edward Said who writes about British history?</P>
I'm reading Système de la mode (probably translated as "the fashion system" or a similarly unappealing title) by Roland Barthes, very analytical, as expected.</P>
I want to start a discussion about the evolution of the hard boiled detective (recently read some essential works by Chandler and Hammett and this got me thinking about how the archetype evolved and making parallels with personal favourite Nestor Burma) so anybody here likes "genre" litterature or are the two terms, in your mind, incompatible?</P>
