Description

Part of "Radical Thinkers" series, this work presents key texts by philosophers and thinkers. It features an autobiography by the founding figure of the Situationist International.

Reviews

"As cryptic and self-effacing a self-portrait as can be found anywhere & Panegyric is almost purely literary, in the sense that one need know or care nothing of the author to be captured by it: Debord is seeking to hijack his era into timelessness." London Review of Books
