Thus Spoke Zarathustra
AuthorFriedrich Nietzsche

The History of Sexuality, Volume 1: An Introduction
AuthorMichel Foucault
ISBN0679724699
This is a perfect example of the kind of writing characterised by Clive James as prose that ‘scorns the earth for fear of a puncture’. Foucault may be able to think – it's not easy to tell – but he certainly can't write.
