Reviews for Lenin 2017: Remembering, Repeating, and Working Through
Praise for Slavoj i ek: The excitable fluency, ursine congeniality and gleeful readiness to provoke and offend all feed the sense of authentic spontaneity and energy that has made i ek something like European philosophy's punk icon, packing out auditoriums around the world.
