Review Quotes: D. J. S. Cross has brought together the most diverse perspectives on and therefore the most thorough explication of Deleuze's thinking on affect. In considering the onto-epistemology of affect from the political to the clinical, from the metaphysical foundation of identity to the reconceptualisation of the body without organs, this collection of essays dazzles with insight. If Deleuze's writings always have invited us to live and think more creatively, surely there is no more pressing a time than now for that invitation to be offered again. Along with D. J. S Cross's rich and instructive introduction, the essays of Deleuze and Affect generously extend that invitation.--Patricia Clough, City University of New York
