Reading A Thousand Plateaus

Henry Somers-Hall has written the book you despaired of needing because you knew it did not exist. Both a genuine interpretative feat and a uniquely valuable work of research, it will find a favored place in our minds, references, and shelves. -- Mary Beth Mader, The University of Memphis Henry Somers-Hall has produced a masterful interpretation of Deleuze and Guattari’s A Thousand Plateaus. By elucidating all the references and allusions that Deleuze and Guattari make in A Thousand Plateaus, Somers-Hall allows us to understand A Thousand Plateaus in a way that was never before possible. -- Leonard Lawlor, Penn State University A remarkable achievement. Somers-Hall’s lucid, detailed and illuminating commentary is the ideal companion for all readers of A Thousand Plateaus—both neophytes and experts alike—and a fitting tribute to the riches of Deleuze and Guattari’s singularly innovative and profound text. Highly recommended. -- Ronald Bogue, University of Georgia Somers-Hall has provided the clearest and most comprehensive, practically page-by-page explication of one of the most important recent works of political philosophy. Though by no means the last word, this is a state-of-the-art assessment that everyone interested in ATP will want to consult and will surely benefit from. -- Eugene W. Holland, Ohio State University
