Kevin,
"In the Trombadori interview of EW3: 267, Foucault states that The order of Things was 'a very technical book that was addressed, above all, to the technicians of the history of the sciences.' He goes on to note how its 'a book that's not truly mine: it's a marginal book in terms of the sort of passion that runs through the others."
I recall having read such a comment by F. on the Archaeology of Knowledge --but don't ask me about the source. In which case I would agree with F: setting out methodology is drier than taking issue with, say, the way the subject of sexual pleasure is being/has been constituted.
