'Zizek leaves no social or natural phenomenon untheorized, and is the master of the counterintuitive observation.' New Yorker; 'Hopping from peak to peak, and periodically descending into the valley of present-day culture for refreshment, Zizek outlines a topology of activity that recovers revealed truths... he has utilized language to re-enscribe the terms of resistance and the game of turning things upside down to empty them out and examine them.' Counterpunch; 'The most formidably brilliant exponent of psychoanalysis, indeed of cultural theory in general, to have emerged from Europe in some decades.' Terry Eagleton

Hopping from peak to peak, and periodically descending into the valley of present-day culture for refreshment, Zizek outlines a topology of activity that recovers revealed truths. * Counterpunch * Zizek will entertain and offend, but never bore. * The Stranger *
