Melanie Grintclaw is the most feared of literary agents in the publishing world. Her own writings however verge on the obsessional. For the last twenty-five years she has produced volume after volume, paper after paper, and now tweet after tweet on her critique of the ontology of Žižek. Žižek himself is unaware of this as he is too busy, but his opponents have lined up firmly behind Grintclaw and are retweeting her every word. Meanwhile Žižek’s supporters respond to each and every ill-considered argument with screeds of illiterate badinage. She is intending to give as the closing lecture at the Gwair Autumnal, a contentious talk entitled ‘Žižek and Amour Propre’.
