Kind of insane to write about The Century and to not mention even once the convulsions of decolonization (or, 'the national question', in more Marxist terms) that punctured it all over. Plenty of art, war, and sex though. Probably more a case of - The Century if you're European but are also a big fan of Mao.

A kind of selected dossier of writers and writings by figures of the 20th century - Freud, Celan, Mao, Brecht, Mandelstam - each reflecting on their time, with Badiou in turn, writing on them. A 'thematic' approach to the time, rather than a periodizing one. A little scattered, but interesting and unique.
