How to Read Lacan by Slavoj Žižek
4.0
After struggling with Lacan's terse language, reading Zizek is such a delight. I haven't read any of his more technical writings, but at least here he writes the same way he speaks. It's grumpy, funny, going on weird and fantastic tangents.
I can't say that I have a good grasp of Lacan just from reading this introduction. His thought is still complex enough that even a good writer explaining it quite well still delivers a complicated picture. Nevertheless, it gave a good introduction that might help my next steps in reading Lacan, delivering what the title promised.
