Summary

Laurent Binet: The Seventh Function of Language

When the famous literary critic Roland Barthes is killed in a laundry truck run by a drunk Bulgarian, at first everything seems like an accident. But Barthes had a very important document with him, and before the accident he had lunch with the future French president François Mitterrand, so his accident caused a lot of attention from the structures of the current French government and various secret services. The police investigation is led by a hardened fighter from Algeria, the right-wing inspector Bayard, who does not find his way in the intellectual milieu, so he requisitions a young semiologist, a leftist Simon Herzog, as an assistant. This strange detective couple embarks on an adventure that will take them to a gay bathhouse and the presidential palace, but also to a secret club where leading intellectuals compete in a modern version of gladiatorial combat.

The Seventh Function of Languageis an exceptionally witty, challenging and clever novel in which Laurent Binet once again combines real historical events and fiction. A true literary treat reads both as a thriller and as a parody of a detective novel, in which no less than Umberto Eco appears in a cameo role.
