Editorial Reviews

These new writings — feminist, deconstructive, and Lacanian, for the most part — have a wild playfulness and a sort of sexual sparkle that...give them an extraordinary verve...The sex-playful explications of Gallop, Moi, Hertz, et al....carry an unmistakable transferential weight.
