Welcome to the Desert of the Real: Five Essays on September 11 and Related Dates

Every time I pick up a Zizek book, I go in with the expectation I'll be able to track with maybe half of it. His thoughts on 9/11 are just as askew, insightful, and obscure as you'd think they'd be. I especially liked the chapter on Israel's relationship with Palestine becoming more aggressive than ever (at the time) all while using the exact same verbiage of America's War on Terror propaganda. Each essay has plenty of peaks and valleys, but more so than some of his other works, the pointed insight stays pretty prevalent and the tangents are a little less harebrained.
