Fashioning the Body: Versions of the Citizen, the Self, and the Subject

Not a corpus, just something I wanted to share from this morning's New York Times:

The article is a review of Alan Bennett's new novel, The Uncommon Reader, which is about what would happen if the Queen of England became an avid reader. Here is my favorite part:

"She takes to asking people she meets what books they’re reading, which has the effect of making them feel uncomfortable and inadequate. And she asks the president of France at a state dinner what he thinks about Jean Genet, which leaves him utterly flummoxed."

I may need to read the book now just to find out what his response is . . .
