Adorno explodes the frontiers of musical and cultural analysis, with a foreword by Slavoj Zizek
Theodor W. Adorno was director of the Institute for Social Research at the University of Frankfurt from 1956 until his death in 1969. His works include Minima Moralia, Quasi una Fantasia, Aesthetic Theory, Negative Dialectics and (with Max Horkheimer) Dialectic of Enlightenment. Slavoj Zizek is International Director of the Birkbeck Institute for Humanities at Birkbeck, University of London. His books include The Ticklish Subject, The Sublime Object of Ideology, and In Defense of Lost Causes.
A volume of Adorno is equivalent to a whole shelf of books on
literature.
*Susan Sontag*
An astonishing book, comparable only to the later Wagner tracts by
Nietzsche ... essential reading for anyone seriously involved with
the composer, and now we can read it thanks to a superior
translation by Rodney Livingstone.
*New York Review of Books*
