How to Read Lacan by Slavoj Žižek

4.5

Absolutely amazing introduction to Lacan. Zizek explains things in a really engaging way by using his unique sense of humour and references to film. There were plenty of times that I was confused during reading it, (I didn't even know who Lacan was, a friend just recommended him lol), but I always came to an understanding because Zizek has such a thorough knowledge of Lacan and an incredible ability to explain complicated ideas in a simpler way. If you're even remotely interested in Lacan, this is about as good as it gets for an introduction to some of his key ideas.
