Structured as a two-part essay, the book opens with Barthes's point-by-point dissection of Picard's "old criticism." Barthes consturcts his own argument and shows, ultimately, that one can cross the abyss that separates criticism and reading, and, by implication, that which separates both from the work of the writer.

Roland Barthes's many books include Writing Degree Zero, Mythologies, Elements of Semiology, S/Z, and Empire of Signs.
