5.0 out of 5 stars Tongue-in-Cheek Academic Humor at its FINEST!, May 5, 2008
This review is from: Molecular Biology in Narrative Form (Berkeley Insights in Linguistics and Semiotics) (Hardcover)
I picked up a used copy of this text, because I was absolutely intrigued by the concept: French Literature based on Biological Principles -- And the other way 'round, too!

Following all the forms of both Literary deconstructionist criticism as well as Scientific Peer-reviewed journals, one might actually think this was a serious work -- and indeed, the sheer volume of dense text only adds to the realism. Happily, the content of the text seems to be some remarkably well-disguised trippy-hippy post-modernist anti-establishment pseudo-feminist rant taken directly from protest speeches from the sixties.

Well Done! This deserves a place on your shelf alongside your bound volumes of The Journal of Improbable Research and other 'Mad Scientist' Jokebooks!
