Reviews

"It will be impossible for reviewers to avoid lauding the tremendous cultural work that The Labour of Laziness performs. Ladyga excavates, in a grand, rigorous essay of genealogical criticism, the stigmatized concept-metaphor of laziness from Aristotle to Zizek. The result is both a revelatory rereading of the US literary canon and an essential critique of Western culture norms.-- ""Jim Hicks, University of Massachusetts"""
