Trade Review"
Talking Heads will make a major contribution to several lines of concern presently animating new thinking and research across a wide spectrum of the human and social sciences.—Michael Holquist, Yale University
"Lee’s extraordinary mastery of so many different domains enables him to cross back and forth over the usual borders and boundaries, and to demonstrate to us that each domain of specialized knowledge has important things to say about the issues he focuses on, things which cannot be ignored if we hope to achieve a full understanding of them."—Thomas McCarthy, Northwestern University
"This is a brilliant book. It traverses the no-man’s land between contemporary disciplines, serving to create an intellectual commerce between usually isolated areas, principally philosophy, linguistic anthropology, and literary criticism, but also psychology, political science, sociology, and history."—Greg Urban, University of Pennsylvania
