Reviews

'A magisterial introduction to a complex but important thinker that elucidates and contextualises the writer in equal measure.' - Andy Stafford, Senior Lecturer in French Studies, University of Leeds, and author of Roland Barthes; 'An impressively detailed survey of Jean-Francois Lyotard's work and cultural milieu, that fills a real gap in Lyotard studies.' - Stuart Sim, Professor in Critical Theory at Northumbria University, Newcastle
