How to Read Lacan by Slavoj Žižek
3.0
"Issues in Criticism" -University of Saint Thomas, required text. Master's in English.
I read about half of this and skimmed the rest. Zizek does an AWESOME job making Lacan readable. He uses TONS of examples per chapter that really break down the ideas really well. There is a little bit of a danger in his style, though, of oversimplifying. Sometimes I think Zizek was a bit too simplistic and that I wasn't getting the full understanding of the complex Lacanian theory.
