If folks are curious, Zizek's new book <em>Violence</em> (Picador 2008) draws on readings of Adorno's famous post-Auschwitz claim about poetry and turns swiftly to a story of Akhmatova, with readings (well, snippets) of Stevens, Brecht, and Yeats among others. <em>In Defense of Lost Causes</em>, Zizek's other new one (Verso--also 2008) draws on readings of (or at least mentions of) Walpole, Melville, Yeats, Pound, Kafka, Thoreau, Kipling, Stoppard, William & Henry James, Rushdie, Beckett, Saramago, Heine, and Borges, among hundreds of others. I'm still plowing through that one. cheers, joshua I enjoyed the post, Alan.

Drat you, Gilbert! (Not that I imagine an invitation is forthcoming!) I've lately been reading Zizek on the need for revolutionary terror. I'm sure it's dilettantish of me.
