Review
"[Barthes] realizes that his greatest achievement is not what he is, nor even what he has done, but rather "how he has done it. So his self-portrait is not primarily a recollection of events or earlier works. It is, rightly, a delineation of the method rather than the man. And so persuasive or provocative are its assertions and associations that it is impossible to read this portrait of a style passively."--Jacob Stockinger, "San Francisco Review of Books
