Review

“That the knot which links literature and film to psychoanalysis is intimate and durable is the beautifully validated premise of this collection. Over the past century periodic attempts to sever this tie have been met with reintroduced; and often more vigorous; forms of attachment. In the face of today’s post-critical calls for a definitive severance; several essays assembled here demonstrate; in ways wily; robust and rigorous; why this knot cannot be unloosed.”
