Review # 1 was written on 2015-05-06 00:00:00 Jesse Gomez Less a guidebook to Deleuze--which is what the title might suggest--than an attempt to reconstruct a dialectical Deleuze out of the philosophy of someone who always spoke passionately against dialectics (a project with which I am sympathetic). Buchanan's approach is highly influenced by Fredric Jameson's notion of 'metacommentary'; indeed the book is as often about Jameson as it is Deleuze. The book will probably be more helpful to those interested in how Deleuze and Jameson's disparate work can be brought together than to those looking for a straightforward introduction to Deleuze. Buchanan writes in a clear and accessible style that sometimes seems diametrically opposed to the richness of Deleuze's own language. If this is a pro or con, will be for each individual reader to decide. If you can figure out the significance of the ripply beefcake on the cover, let me know.
