ITEM OVERVIEW
Guy Debord, as founding and pivotal figure of the Situationist International, pursued one of the 20th century's most arch and exciting assaults on modern life. Panegyric is Debord's audacious autobiography, and here for the first time in English is the second, beautifully illustrated volume published together with the spare and classical text of the first. A rare combination of poetry and precision, it tells of something even rarer: a life that refused to adjust to the dominant malignancies of its time.
"As cryptic and self-effacing a self-portrait as can be found anywhere... Panegyric is almost purely literary, in the sense that one need know or care nothing of the author to be captured by it: Debord is seeking to hijack her era into timelessness." —Greil Marcus, London Review Of Books
