The Puppet and the Dwarf
The Perverse Core of Christianity
Slavoj Zizek

Reviews

"Zizek is the first Marxist to write theology in a post-marxist, post-secular age."
Eugene McCarraher, In These Times

"A witty, informative trip ... both erudite and accessible...."
Rick Mitchell, Leonardo Reviews

"His writing is bold, confident and contentious."
Julian Baggini, The Philosopher's Magazine

"... Zizek mixes Pauline speculations with analyses of everything from G. K. Chesterton to chocolate eggs."
Terry Eagleton, TLS

"Zizek rarely fails to entertain...."
Charles Seymour, Library Journal

"Quite possibly the most entertaining philosopher working today. Zizek knows how to think the unthinkable."
Jori Finkel, Village Voice

"The Puppet and the Dwarf is Zizek's most compelling and passionate writing on Christianity to date."
Erik Davis, Bookforum

"Slavoj Zizek may have the strongest 'brand identity'... of any cultural theorist now in the marketplace of ideas."
Scott McLemee, The Chronicle of Higher Education
