Reviews

"Zizek leaves no social or cultural phenomenon untheorized, and is master of the counterintuitive observation." - The New Yorker "The Elvis of cultural theory." - The Chronicle of Higher Education "One of the most innovative and exciting contemporary thinkers of the left." - Times Literary Supplement "Zizek is an influential thinker, and this short book offers an excellent entry into his thought." - David Gordon, Library Journal "[A] great provocateur and an immensely suggestive and even dashing writer... Zizek writes with passion and an aphoristic energy that is spellbinding." - Richard Rayner, Los Angeles Times "The most dangerous philosopher in the West." - New Republic
