    Tower of Babel-related book: Walker Percy, “Lost in the Cosmos”, first published in 1983. Using often hilarious character portraits, he goes into Saussure’s distinction between language and speech, the signifier and the signified, ending up with how communication with “cousins” on another planet might look like.
