"The elegant and often witty rigor of Irrepressible Truth will appeal to a wide and variegated "hounded mafia of honesty" discontent with pseudo-academic platitudes as much as with Thermidorian sectarianism that still wholeheartedly believes in the potentials of the revolution initiated by the Freudian talking cure." (Lorenzo Chiesa, Director of the Genoa School of Humanities and Visiting Professor at the European University of Saint Petersburg, Russia) "Adrian Johnston's Irrepressible Truth is far and away the best and most detailed commentary on one of Lacan's crucial texts, "The Freudian Thing." Never before has anyone unpacked this Lacanian position paper with such insight and finesse, relating it to Lacan's other works both prior and subsequent, and rarely has anyone written about his texts with such clarity. A fine example to us all!" (Bruce Fink, Lacanian analyst, translator of Ecrits and of Seminars VIII and XX).
