Oh my god, this book is incredible. All I want to do is read it. It's hypnotic. So much better than the film.

This is the page The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde ends. Honestly such a good novella, such a classic, although I did feel it was far too short. I could have read at least another hundred pages of this. And I feel that so much more could have been done with it. It's very clearly influenced by Frankenstein, but brought into the contemporary age, made less philosophical, less flowery and Gothic.

This is the Lacanian/Hegelian version of Viveiros de Castro's Deleuzian anthropology. Given that I'm a reformed Lacan (I'm a Deleuzian) obviously I prefer Viveiros. But this is written in a much more accessible manner and Kohn has some cool ideas. I like the use of Pierce's semiotics.
