Mensonge

More about the book

Structuralists, post-structuralists, deconstructionists, and various scholars working diligently in universities around the world have sought answers to this very important question of our time. Moreover, some even dared to ask whether such a person really existed. Very little is known about Mensonge. It is believed that he arrived in Paris by mistakenly boarding the wrong train. The massive text titled "Cultural Act as Adultery" was never read, nor was it written to be read. The author of the book at hand, Malcolm Bradbury, demonstrates that Mensonge is the deconstructionist of deconstructionists. In this unique work, Bradbury ultimately finds Mensonge where it belongs: on the attendance list of the great thinkers of the twentieth century, alongside Freud, Derrida, Foucault, and Bardot. Malcolm Bradbury writes the "comic" history of post-World War II philosophical movements, novel and criticism trends; he mocks "The Playboy School of Philosophy." Malcolm Bradbury ruthlessly mocks his philosopher colleagues who write about English Literature and the history they have created. He knows exactly where he is stepping and reaches the heights of humor.
