I was determined to hate this book, partly because I'm not in it, partly because I really don't like sex when it is followed by nothing. Yet now that I have read it, I think it is by far the most consistently brilliant collection of essays on psychoanalysis and philosophy I have come across in a very long time. I now understand why I'm not in it - the cast of characters, which includes some of the most sparkling intellectuals of our age and some equally coruscating emerging scholars, is just perfect - and I have also learnt to appreciate the importance of nothingness, and not just as a companion or a consequence of sex. This book belongs on all the bedside tables of all the better houses on the planet. --Professor Dany Nobus, Pro-Vice-Chancellor for External Affairs at Brunel University London, and Chair of the Freud Museum London
