“The result is, as usual, a compendium of long passages of fierce brilliance . . . Žižek is consistently penetrating.”
—Steven Poole, Guardian
“Never ceases to dazzle.”
—Brian Dillon, Daily Telegraph
“The thinker of choice for Europe’s young intellectual vanguard . . . to witness Žižek in full flight is a wonderful and at times alarming experience, part philosophical tightrope-walk, part performance-art marathon, part intellectual roller-coaster ride.”
—Sean O’Hagan, Observer
“Wide-ranging, often revelatory, frequently bewildering.”
—Helen Brown, Daily Telegraph
“A giddying combination of exhilaration and perplexity, an addictive high-speed chase with bewildering changes in terrain that for the reader necessitate multiple gear shifts, sudden U-turns, three- and four-point turns, elegant loops and impossibly narrow angles to negotiate.”
—Irish Left Review
“The most dangerous philosopher in the West.”
—Adam Kirsch, The New Republic
“Such passion, in a man whose work forms a shaky, cartoon rope-bridge between the minutiae of popular culture and the big abstract problems of existence, is invigorating, entertaining and expanding enquiring minds around the world.”
—Helen Brown, Daily Telegraph
