About the Book
An audacious autobiography by the founding and pivotal figure of the Situationist International.Book Synopsis
Guy Debord's silver-tongue-in-cheek autobiography mixes precision and pastiche in a whirlwind account of philosophy, exploit, and inebriation. From the stark professions of Volume I to the illustrated sequences of Volume 2, Panegyric confronts us with a figure who strategically, demonically tried to wrest life from the disabling modern 'spectacle.'Review Quotes
"A brief and elegiac memoir of a life lived in its shadows and cracks."--Artforum "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 his era into timelessness."--London Review of Books "These concise but extremely rich and provocative memoirs are the product of ... a philosopher whose scathing pen has never been so sharp."--San Francisco Chronicle
