Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Margaret Reynolds from The Times notes that Lacan's style, known for its complexity, is made more accessible through Fink's translation. Key concepts like the mirror stage, transference, and psychical causality become clearer, even if they are not immediately easy to grasp. The effort by both the reader and the translator is deemed worthwhile.
