"Slavoj Zizek has put the Soul back into philosophy."
TLS

"Audacious and vertiginous, this book is everything one expects
from him, a heady mix of psychoanalysis, politics, theology,
philosophy, and cultural studies that will leave the reader both
exhausted and exhilarated. For those wishing to gain a brief
overview of his central thesis or his application of Lacan to
cultural studies, this is an informal and opportune text, an
excellent introduction to Zizek by Zizek."
-Marcus Pound, Bristol University

"I am very impressed by how Zizek continues book after
book to clarify, revise and deepen his thinking. This volume-ideal
for the beginner, but with plenty to offer the practiced reader of
Zizek as well- is a superb snapshot of where this most
restless, iconoclastic and essential of contemporary theorists
stands at the moment." - Henry Staten, University of
Washington, Seattle.

"Glyn Daly succeeds here in punctuating the febrile forward rush
of one of the most distinctive and influential voices of our time,
making it curl a little more deliberately around questions many
would want to ask Zizek responds with wily candour,
offering up original and substantive theoretical speculation
alongside bits of professional biography and new glosses on his
favorite cultural examples. As invigorating and substantial a
conversation as any one is likely to come upon. - Joan
Copjec, author of Imagine There's No Woman
