On the Nature of Marx's Things traces to Marx's earliest writings a Lucretian practice that Lezra calls necrophilological translation.

Jacques Lezra is Professor of Hispanic Studies at the University of California-Riverside. His publications include Lucretius and Modernity (co-edited with Liza Blake, Palgrave, 2016) and Wild Materialism: The Ethic of Terror and the Modern Republic (Fordham UP, 2010).
