Slavoj Zizek (Routledge Critical Thinkers)

"Of all the books in the Routledge Critical Thinkers series this is certainly one of the best. An excellent introduction to Zizek, his interpretation of Lacan, Marx and Hegel, as well as a good guide to his thought in its own right. The only worry is, with Zizek churning out new books at a rate of knots, this introduction may some become dated!"

"A lazy, trite and disingenuous volume that does little to illumine further the thinking of either Zizek or Lacan. Potential enthusiasts of Slavoj are strongly encouraged to go directly to the primary material - where the arguments are retailed with greater clarity, wit and verve."

"This is a short, useful, well-written introduction to the thought of Slavoj Zizek, one of the most important contemporary philosophers. Without ever dumbing Zizek down, Myers offers a clear overview of his often challenging thinking. The book includes a useful survey of all Zizek's books and neatly sums up his views on some of the subjects most important to his philosophy, e.g. racism and the nature of "the Subject". It explores Zizek's indebtedness to Jacques Lacan without getting mired in bewildering jargon. There remains no substitute for reading Zizek's original books, but for a student wishing to know more about Zizek this is a valuable resource."
