The follow-up volume to Obsessive Love , Art Theory Made Me Cry is an anecdotal theory book, documenting my love/hate relationship with critical theory in the late 80s and early 90s. In the current age of post-theory backlash, it is hard to believe that there was ever a time when reading Derrida, Bataille or Lacan (and weeping over it) seemed like an important way to spend the weekend, but this volume provides documentary evidence.
