From Brecht Forum’s website: “Slavoj Žižek’s provocative prose has challenged a generation of activists and intellectuals. Now ‘the Elvis of cultural theory’ will make a major New York City appearance. He will frame the current global crisis, with an accessible analysis of how we moved from the tragedy 9/11 to the farce of the financial meltdown.”
