Zizek-detaljer

Next to his chair is a plastic shopping bag that contains everything he needs during the three days of the conference.

Zizek wears jeans and a T-shirt, blue sandals from the Adlon Hotel in Berlin and socks from Lufthansa's Business Class. \"I haven't bought any socks in years,\" he says. He stays in the best hotels, and he has just returned from a trip to China and Los Angeles.

There are two posters of Josef Stalin on the wall in Zizek's apartment in a new building in downtown Ljubljana.

Zizek's roughly 600-square-foot apartment looks as though Tito were still in power. It consists of three rooms and is carelessly furnished. A poster from a Mark Rothko exhibition hangs on the wall above the sofa in Soviet-era colors; otherwise, the furnishings consist of a rack of DVDs, bookshelves, mountains of \"Star Wars\" Legos and his laundry, which he keeps in his kitchen cabinets. He serves iced tea in Disney cups.
