4.0 out of 5 stars Lacan can be easy...If you read the man yourself!, November 8, 2002
By 
This review is from: Freud's Papers on Technique (Seminar of Jacques Lacan , Book 1) (Bk. 1) (Hardcover)
If you want to read Lacan, forget all the confusing introductions by people like Zizek, Gallup et al. And absolutely don't bother with "Ecrits"--they're dense rewritings of earlier speeches. Instead, begin where it all began...the seminars, Paris, the 1950s. A who's-who of Paris intelligentia are here to listen to the new kid on the block with an intriguing new back-to-basic reading of Freud. Lacan here, in transcriptions from his class, asks only one thing from his students: do your homework. If he's going to talk about a particular essay by Freud, he expects you to read it. You get group presentations by the students, plus Lacan's sardonic asides. Great fun.
