Okay, awesome! I've made a note of that title and author, will have to look it up. I like the idea of a novel with a refutation of certain aspects of theory built into it. Especially psychoanalytic criticism, because as hilarious as it can occasionally be, I've never really thought it yields much in the way of actual deeper understanding of a book. I mean, yes, swords are shaped like penises and caves are faintly vaginal in shape. We all know. Nothing else to offer? Then I'll be moving on, except for the purposes of mockery.
(In which vein, if you ever decide to re/watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer, I highly recommend keeping tabs on how many of the demons bear some resemblance to penises. It's highly entertaining, and I'm fairly sure most of it was intentional on Joss Whedon's part.)
