In classical and late antiquity, it was a commonplace that the wise man (and he was always a man) was never less alone...

... to be some sort of improbable mythical beast, an allegorical repres­ ent­a­tion of intellectual openness and charm. He was perhaps the only person (certainly the only academic) about whom I believe I literally never heard a negative word, and the positive words ­were many and seemed hyperbolic. The word I...

... knew, to the enunciative conditions of a conversation, and to what might remain unsaid or merely blurred by context. He was able to read ­people in relation to their own ecologies while never taking anything for granted, never reducing them to the logic of a par­ticu­ ­lar encounter. This intuitive...

Fortunately, I ­don t have to rely on my memory in order to dredge up anecdotes from the second half of this period, as ours was above all an epistolary friendship, and I have saved many of Ross s handwritten letters and cards, the oldest ­going back...

... to be his prevailing humor: playful audacity. Professor Riffaterre relished the game of intellectual challenge, and he never seemed to grow mean or petty about, or to become wounded by, the heated exchanges that transpired on paper and in conferences. (I realize that my sense that this is somehow remarkable...

The defendant asserted first, that he had given it back undamaged; secondly, that the ­kettle had a hole in it when he borrowed it; and thirdly, that he had never borrowed a ­kettle from his neighbor at all (Freud, The Interpretation of Dreams, 197).

In contrast to this seemingly obvious relation of Stein to Crusoe, it might seem a very unusual and rather eccentric idea to discuss Roland Barthes' rewriting of Robinson Crusoe, since Barthes never actually wrote a rewriting or indeed any novel at all. Yet, strange as it might seem...
