Sophie's Reviews > L'ordre du discours : Leçon inaugurale au Collège de France prononcée le 2 décembre 1970

I recommend this very short book as a perfect introduction to Foucault if you want to directly read the author himself.

There, he explains precisely his method of analysis of history, making the process, that has been more or less implicit in his past works, very clear and explicit.

I wish I read it sooner because it would have helped to make more sense of, for example, his History of Sexuality.
