Review Quotes:
"The book is an excellent contribution to the understanding of several difficult 'post-Heideggerian' thinkers and to an understanding of the current state of continental philosophy. It makes a signal contribution to the understanding of Deleuze's thought and admirably works out the vertiginous logics of various kinds of mise en abyme, which have remained all too obscure and confused in the extant literature." - Andrzej Warminski, author of Ideology, Rhetoric, Aesthetics: For De Man
