What it is about

There are books I want to finish and books I want to keep arguing with. A Lover's Discourse is the second kind. It follows Love, Language, and Desire, but I keep it because the distance between loving someone and knowing how to love them well keeps finding its way back to me.

Why I keep it

Barthes on the lover's words. Every fragment I write owes it something.
