What is the pleasure of reading? The French critic and theorist Roland Barthes's answers to these questions constitute \"perhaps for the first time in the history of criticism . . . not only a poetics of reading . . . but a much more difficult achievement, an erotics of reading . . . . Like filings which gather to form a figure in a magnetic field, the parts and pieces here do come together, determined to affirm the pleasure we must take in our reading as against the indifference of (mere) knowledge.\" --Richard Howard\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Hill and Wang","offers":[{"title":"Pleasure of the Text | Roland Barthes | Paperback | 9780374521608 | Used: Very Good | Back Stacks D 1741747","offer_id":48168961933464,"sku":"1741747","price":10.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71QJ3LygZnL.jpg?v=1771982579","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/pleasure-of-the-text","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
