Seriously, though, I had to read Lacan for a theory class at Oberlin, and I think I only made it to the second or so page. This guy seriously doesn't want people to be able to read him. And actually, I quite like fledgling lit-critter.

aw, I <3 Lacan. Seriously. I think his psychoanalytic theory is some of the most accessible stuff I've ever read.

accessible? have you ever read his "seminar on the purloined letter"?! everything he's ever written is meant to be unreadable. literally. he got off on writing in a completely obscure/obfuscating vein.

but anyway, lacan himself is different than lacanian psychoanalysis applied to literature. what's so annoying about it is that you know exactly what to expect once you've read lacan or some other literary critic whose brain has been seeped in his theory. and then you don't want to read it anymore.

what drugs are you smoking and can i have some?! [maybe they'd help me get through my reading]
