Reviews

A page-turner … I haven't read a critical book with such eagerness to find out what happens next for a long time. Beautifully produced and translated, a book every poetry lover will want to have in his pocket to read on bus, train, and plane.—Gabriel Josipovici, TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT

Meillassoux has added a crucial dimension nobody ever noticed despite innumerable “close readings.”—Daniel Birnbaum, Artforum
