In chapter after chapter he tackles the most vexing problems of law and legal thinking."-Choice,"Pierre Schlag has been through the collapse of legal theory and lived to tell the tale, a tale that is burdened by as few illusions as possible except for the saving one of hope. He is also a great (and serious) comic."-Stanley Fish,Duke UniversityPierre Schlag is the great iconoclast of the American legal academy. Few professors today are so consistently original, funny, and provocative."-Jack Balkin,Yale Law School
