Radicalism then and now: what’s changed since 1968?
Today, politics has lost its meaning, and all that’s left for so-called radicals is to call for a more extreme version of what ‘politics’ is about. The form is still there, but the content has changed.

For all his talk of developing Marxism, Althusser is intent on rebuilding a new, overly deterministic system, where ideology, and in particular the educational state apparatus take on primary roles.

The novel makes for a swift and refreshing read despite North’s fragmented, incomplete characters, his patronising emphasis on the vulnerability of women and the at times irritating leitmotif of the inability to shape one’s future.
