"It's worth saying that even in this book, an excerpted version of the original, I only poked around and read those essays that seemed most interesting, most relevant to me.
That said, I really liked it, and found it to be pretty lucid. It's true, there are places that are sort of impenetrable, but most of those I think concerned people that Lacan was correcting or responding to, and so when I didn't totally follow the grounds of his disagreement, I don't feel like it prevented me from understanding what Lacan was trying to say.
The notes were really helpful, as was the supplemental material, where key ideas are indexed in a way that allows you to see them develop, etc. Really, a very helpful little selection."
"A selection of Lacan's essays on psychoanalytic theory, translated from the French original (which has several additional essays not included in the English translation). Lacan's writing style is difficult, even opaque at times (some commentators argue that Lacan's challenging style is a reflection of his theories). Nevertheless, this is generally thought of as the authoritative translation. Included are Lacan's essay on the "mirror stage," and also "The Agency of the Letter in the Unconscious," in which he discusses the Unconscious as a signified and the symptom as a signifier. The book does not include his essay "The Purloined Poe," however, which would have been a useful inclusion, particularly for readers interested in how Lacanian theories can be applied to the interpretation of literature."
"Lacan's great, but the translation by Fink is a bit problematic I feel (he uses "reality" instead of "the real" and though he justifies this, it perturbs me... Still, a good read, if obtuse (I mean, it's Lacan!). I think that it'll read better in French... but I don't know any French... Here's what I did: read the essays as and when you want, separately... easier to get through..."
