Need a good book?

Just read a postmodern book par excellence.

It begins with the genealogy of power.
Every chapter is a deconstruction.
Truth is questioned and left unanswered, or seemingly so. ...
Social categories are questioned and radically overturned.
It contains incredulity towards all metanarratives.
Justice is the un-deconstructible finality.
Every page demands the reader's response.
And it ends with a subversive allegory.

What book?

It comes in many names.

Commonly, it's called The New Testament.

Did you notice that in the genealogy of power that introduces the book, there are 4 women slipped into the lineage, all of whom have some scandal or political incorrectness attached to them? Ah, the message of inclusion of the weak and unworthy already is to be discovered there.
