Sex and the Failed Absolute is to ieks corpus what Malevichs Black Square was to his artistic oeuvre.  In this watershed book, interweaving the odd couple of quantum physics and sexuality, iek offers readers the distilled essence of a new dialectical materialism.  This reinvents the very foundations of iekian ontology --Adrian Johnston, Professor and Chair of Philosophy, University of New Mexico, U.S.A
