Introducing Lacan: A Graphic Guide by Darian Leader

1.0

I know more about Lacan than I did before I read this, but all in all this book is a fairly poor introduction to Lacanian psychoanalysis. If the benefit of graphics are to elucidate concepts, there's about a 15% success rate, with the remainder being simply "Lacan holding a word" or "the back of somebody who looks sad." I have a fair bit of interest in learning more about Lacan's work, so this book is not a total failure and did not turn me off from further exploration. The tone is also completely dry of levity, which seems very counterintuitive to me. The mind is strange, and there's enjoyment to be had from knowing that!
