Steven Poole, Guardian
Counterfire
Slavoj Žižek’s profile by Sean O’Hagan, Observer

“A compendium of long passages of fierce brilliance … Žižek is consistently penetrating.” Steven Poole

“Despite, or perhaps because of, his iconoclasm, his tendency to contradict himself, and his general political incorrectness – which may, one suspects, be more mischievous than heartfelt – Žižek is to today what Jacques Derrida was to the 80s: the thinker of choice for Europe’s young intellectual vanguard… To witness Žižek in full flight is a wonderful and at times alarming experience, part philosophical tightrope-walk, part performance-art marathon, part intellectual roller-coaster ride…” Sean O’Hagan

Living in the End Times contains some of Žižek’s most serious and evocative writing while still maintaining fidelity to his engrossing and at times bewildering style.” Duncan Simpson
