"In the sentence 'She's no longer suffering, ' to what, to whom
does 'she' refer? What does that present tense mean?" --Roland
Barthes, from his diary
The day after his mother's death in October 1977, Roland Barthes
began a diary of mourning. For nearly two years, the legendary
French theorist wrote about a solitude new to him; about the ebb
and flow of sadness; about the slow pace of mourning, and life
reclaimed through writing. Named a Top 10 Book of 2010 by "The New
York Times" and one of the Best Books of 2010 by "Slate" and "The
Times Literary Supplement," "Mourning Diary" is a major discovery
in Roland Barthes's work: a skeleton key to the themes he tackled
throughout his life, as well as a unique study of grief--intimate,
deeply moving, and universal.
