    by Francis Dupuis-Déri ...
    Translated by Mélissa Bull ...
    On November 16, 1980, the Marxist philosopher Louis Althusser strangled his wife in their Parisian apartment, in a period when she was thinking of leaving him.

    Pitfalls of Identity Politics

    Translated by Catherine Porter ...
