Robert Williams is on page 84 of 400 of Surplus-Enjoyment: A Guide For The Non-Perplexed
The introduction is typical Zizek obtuse academese, but it is definitely improving in clarity and readability as I progress.

Surplus-Enjoyment: A Guide For The Non-Perplexed

Robert Williams is reading The Interrupted Moment: A View of Virginia Woolf's Novels
Interesting analysis of Woolf use of interruptions to character's actions and thoughts, enabling them different perspectives and personal growth (I think). The conclusion argues that Woolf's work supports anarchism as a non-violent enlightened basis of society. I have not read Woolf's novels with this insight and in general think anarchism is self-defeating so am ambivalent to this interpretation.

Very tedious, but I am determined to finish it now that I have gotten this far's supposed to be worth the effort. The problem of sunk costs.

It's a slog. I push or because it is reported to be worth the effort. I hope it is because it is
a huge investment in time.
