Description

Roland Barthes' Incidents offers a unique glimpse into the life and thought of one of the twentieth century's foremost intellectuals. This collection of essays, originally published in French shortly after Barthes' death, provides insight into his personal struggles and delights. Through four parts, Barthes shares his experiences living in Morocco, his love for the southwest of France, and his observations of Parisian nightlife. The journal entries also reveal a more intimate side of Barthes, as an older gay man struggling with his desires. Rendered here in a lyrical new translation alongside striking photographs, Incidents invites readers to engage actively with the text. This collection will appeal to fans of Barthes' other works and anyone interested in exploring the mind of a leading intellectual.
