“It is sometimes said of a book that it ‘wrote itself’—meaning it was easy to write. I would say of this book that it “reads itself”, meaning it is very easy—and pleasurable—to read. It is witty and humorous … It shows great erudition but this is worn so lightly that many would not even note it—others will read with added pleasure through the recognition of the many references to Freud, Lacan, feminist theory, Derrida, Levi-Strauss, political philosophy (perhaps more how the chess player, philosopher, or logician might read Alice in Wonderland) … It is beautifully written.”
