Dazzling.
SubStance
Julia Kristeva’s Powers of Horror, which theorizes the notion of the ‘abject’ in a series of blisteringly insightful analyses, is as relevant, as necessary, and as courageous today as it seemed in 1984.
Peter Connor, Barnard College
Critics who seek an alternative to sexist and, in general, imperialist practices in psychoanalytic writing will want to read [this book].
