TJ Clark in the Foreword to 'Guy Debord' by Anselm Jappe

Political writing of the highest order is rare. Moments at which a particular language is opened to a further range of possibilities - a new tone, a new conception of human purposes, a sharper or wilder rhetorical ascent - in any case happen infrequently. And moments at which this opening depends on the creation of a specifically political voice, rather than an ethical, lyric or epic one, are truly few and far between.
