Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Lacan (But Were Afraid to Ask Hitchcock) is a 1993 book by Žižek published in English by Verso. As loyal Žižek readers will know, no Žižek book is complete without a reference to an Alfred Hitchcock film. Here, what is usually just an incidental affection for the director's work is expanded to a book- length passion. Žižek and the other authors in this volume (including Fredric Jameson and Mladen Dolar) adopt what Žižek describes as a transferential relationship towards Hitchcock, one which allows that even the smallest details of his films are meaningful. This is book is a mixture of film studies and psychoanalysis.
