Bersani's New Book: Panned

DECONSTRUCTED SELF by Leo Bersani. It's about Flaubert, the author of Madam Bovary. I couldn't finish it, it was so badly written. I expected it to be better, considering Bersani is a friend of David Ferry, a poet who won the National Book Award for his translation of Gilgamesh, a mythological Persian poem, but I found it impossible! I should have known not to trust a man's name that sounds like a spreadable cheese that's not real cheese.
