Žižek, S. (1997) The Plague of Fantasies, London and New York: Verso.
 
=Review by [http://www.lacan.com/zizekchro2.htm Tony Myers]=
This is an extended explanation of the psychoanalytical concept of
fantasy. The 'plague' of the title refers to the deluge of pseudo-concrete
which, he avows, threatens to abolish the dimension of Symbolic virtu-
ality. Given that fantasy plays such a key role in Žižek's anatomy of
the human condition, the first chapter here - which is a seven-pointclarification of the concept - is a particularly valuable addition to the
Žižekian corpus, making this one of the books most suited to a first-
time Žižek reader. As an added enticement, this work also contains
designs.
