SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"Philippe Van Haute picks up the challenge of explaining to us, line by line, the most difficult and intriguing text of Lacan's Écrits. All that is required to open Écrits to page 292 and follow the lucid and pedagogical instruction provided by Van Haute. Leaving no stone unturned, he moves with amazing mastery between all of Lacan's texts and gives coherence to Lacan's often elliptic developments." -- From back cover.
