Reviews for The Incident at Antioch / L’Incident d’Antioche: A Tragedy in Three Acts / Tragédie en trois actes
Badiou resembles Sartre in the versatility, creativity, and energy that make them major literary authors as well as philosophers. It is a measure of Spitzer's talent as a translator that she manages to preserve the literariness of Badiou's language-its difficulty, strangeness, and beauty-while making it vivid and fluid and consistent with the syntactical and grammatical demands of English.
