(3:10 PM) | Adam Kotsko:
Promoting Zizek and Theology
With characteristic prescience, Dejan of the Cultural Parody Center has reviewed Zizek and Theology without reading it. Those of you who also haven't read it will have to decide for yourselves whether his charges are accurate.I would just like to clarify one matter, however: Dejan continually accuses me of being a "perpetual PhD student." In reality, I'm making remarkably quick progress. I just finished my coursework last week, I've done two qualifying exams already, and I'm on pace to be ABD by the end of the academic year. If my plan to finish my dissertation within a year holds, I will have a PhD before my 29th birthday. I ask you, readers: does that process sound protracted to you?
Meanwhile, my British readers who want to have the earliest possible shot at doing an old-fashioned "after-having-read-the-book" review may take advantage of Amazon's convenient preorder feature. (Americans will have to wait until some unknown date to preorder.)
