Tracing a quest that begins in the halls of Cambridge University, descends to the forbidden spaces of an isolated asylum, and moves on to the sunbaked shores of the south of France, Hallucinating Foucault brings to life a love affair like no other. "The love between a writer and a reader is never celebrated, " Duncker writes. "It cannot be proven to exist. Yet we often talk with extraordinary intensity about a writer we've discovered, loved, read, and re-read. Reading is an eerie, alien, intimate experience. We know that there is someone on the other side of writing. They are sometimes close, terrifyingly present. We listen hard." As the book builds toward its startling conclusion, Duncker probes and unravels the intriguing connections between Paul Michel - an extraordinary writer who is sexually irresistible - and the philosopher Michel Foucault, who claimed he wrote his brilliant texts to attract boys. A riveting mystery as well as a meditation on the gender-transcending nature of love, Hallucinating Foucault is an unforgettable novel that goes to the very heart of the creative act.

《恋人絮语》是一部无法用传统体裁定性的奇书。作者在此尝试了一种高度神经质的“发散性”行文，糅思辨与直接演示为一体。这是一种“散点透视”的“零度写作”。恍如一万花筒：作者撷取出恋爱体验的五彩碎片，在他哲人思辨的反光镜折射下结构出扑朔迷离的排列组合。作者以对应的文体形式揭示了恋人絮语只不过是诸般感受，几段思绪，剪不断，理还乱。相形之下，以往的关于爱情、恋语的条分缕析、洋洋洒洒的“发思”八股显得迂腐、浅陋……而这正是解构主义要证实的。

《巨人传》共分五部，第一、二部通过叙述卡冈都亚的庞大固埃的出生、所受的教育及其丰功伟绩，阐明人文主义学说的种种主张；后三部以庞大固埃与巴汝奇等伙伴为研究婚姻难题寻找神瓶而周游列国作线索，展示中世纪广阔的社会画面，揭露和抨击种种社会弊端。 在《巨人传》中，几乎所有的主要人物都带有理想色彩，惟独巴汝奇是个现实的人，具有从现实生活中概括出来的真实个性，具有真实的长处和弱点。这是个行将在资本主义竞争中大显身手的角色，是费加罗、弗隆坦等典型的前身。尽管这个人物还不够完整，前后性格还不够统一，但毕竟是法国文学中出现的第一个现实主义典型。单单这一贡献，就足以使拉伯雷在文学史上获得不朽的声名了，何况还有他那无与伦比的讽刺艺术和富有魅力的语言风格。
