| Notes | Who was Henri Mensonge? Structuralists, Post-Structuralists, Deconstructionists, Misreaders, and other busy and useful people at universities everywhere have pondered this question for a very short time. Some of them have even dared to ask: Did he exist? …With this seminal text, Bradbury finally places Henri Mensonge where he belongs: in the roll call of great twentieth-century thinkers, alongside Freud, Foucault, de Beauvoir, and Bardot. A satiric skewering of Seventies- & Eighties-vintage French literary theory, complete with non-referential index and spurious Foreword/Afterword by "Michel Tardieu, Professor of Structuralist Narratology," supposedly translated by Bradbury's fellow academic parodist David Lodge. |
