The first collaborative effort of Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, Anti-Oedipus is an exemplary critique of orthodox Psychoanalysis which revolutionized postmodernism. 'Holland's introduction ... is suitable both for those who are reluctant to begin Anti-Oedipus due to its notorious reputation for complexity, and for those who are, even after four hundred pages of reading, not certain of its key concept. Holland states that his aim will have been achieved if readers want to turn to Anti-Oedipus after reading his introduction ... [if so] the book has admirably reached its aim not only at the end of the book but also at the end of every chapter.' - Psychoanalytical Studies
