Reviews

One of the best academic introductions to Lacan's discourse. - Eugen Baer, Structuralist Review Not the charlatan he is sometimes designated, but someone to be reckoned with. I would reverse the usual prescription and suggest starting with the exposition and criticism fist, and only then proceeding to Lacan's own text, start with Anike Lemaire. - Anthony Storr, Sunday Times
