"A brief and elegiac memoir of a life lived in its shadows and cracks."- Artforum "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 "These concise but extremely rich and provocative memoirs are the product of . a philosopher whose scathing pen has never been so sharp."- San Francisco Chronicle.
