The Frenchmen: Or, My Life in Theory by Emily Eakin

From Dayna Tortorici's write-up in the New Yorker:

"At last, representation for the theory-pilled girl! Part memoir, part biography, part philosophy primer, "The Frenchmen" interleaves Eakin's bildungsroman with careful close readings and details of her subjects' lives. Lacan, Althusser, Barthes, Foucault, Deleuze, Guattari, Derrida, and de Man are all present as mononymic embodiments of their thought. But they are also present as themselves -- as Jacques, Louis, Roland, Michel, Gilles, Felix, Jacques, and Paul. [...] Along the way Eakin introduces their intellectual forefathers [...] and, at the edges, even some women: Simone de Beauvoir, Simone Weil, Luce Irigaray."
