After The Last Samurai
The Seventh Function of Language by Laurent Binet
If The Last Samurai's celebration of polymathic genius and satirical jabs at mediocrity left you craving more, The Seventh Function of Language delivers with its romp through 1980s French theory, flawed intellectuals unraveling linguistic conspiracies. Echoing Sibylla and Ludo's isolated brilliance, it offers multilingual digressions and highbrow wit that lampoons pretentious literati. Perfect for overeducated misfits seeking smug satisfaction in subversive narratives.
