Reviews

Visser's Deleuzian reading of Artaud's late writings comes as a revelation. What might seem a madman's ravings prove in Visser's analysis to be profound meditations on the power of language to foster genuine thought and generate new relations between humans and the natural world. Visser argues that Artaud deploys a 'zoological language,' one that engages the life of zoe and thereby makes possible what Deleuze calls 'belief in this world.' This is an insightful, compelling and original study of signal importance. * Ronald Bogue, Professor Emeritus, University of Georgia, USA *
