Reviews
In this elegant, thoughtful essay, Renata Salecl shows us how today's abundance of choice makes us more anxious than ever before and less free than we might like to think. Beautifully crafted and concise, it will make readers question the hidden logic of their everyday lives. -- Darian Leader, psychoanalyst and author of The New Black: Mourning, Melancholia and Depression
