Jeffrey Eugenides Quote

Then one Sunday morning, before winter break, Abby's boyfriend, Whitney, materialized at their kitchen table, reading something called Of Grammatology. When Madeleine asked what the book was about, she was given to understand by Whitney that the idea of a book being about something was exactly what this book was against, and that, if it was about anything, then it was about the need to stop thinking of books as being about things.
