Media Reviews
A brief and elegiac memoir of a life lived in its shadows and cracks. * Artforum *
As cryptic and self-effacing a self-portrait as can be found anywhere ... Panegyric is almost purely literary, in the sense that one need know or care nothing of the author to be captured by it: Debord is seeking to hijack his era into timelessness. * London Review of Books *
These concise but extremely rich and provocative memoirs are the product of ... a philosopher whose scathing pen has never been so sharp. * San Francisco Chronicle *
