Reviews

The themes of difference, death, the postmodern, the simulacrum, and otherness, find their way into many of the different essays, as do references to Hegel, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Arendt, Deleuze and Guattari, as well as the French critics listed above. Such cross-references help to maintain a focus that all too easily can be obfuscated by the sheer number of different authorial points of view presented. The editors have done a heroic job keeping the whole from falling apart at the seams. Steve Bindeman, Janus Head, 7.1, 2004
