“An excellent, thorough and serious work of research on the links between literature and psychoanalysis orientated by the teachings of Jacques Lacan. Written in a highly enjoyable style and tone, this erudite yet accessible work should be a mandatory reference for anyone interested in the latest research in this interdisciplinary area.”
Miquel Bassols Puig Psychoanalyst, A.M.E., Member and Former President of the W.A.P.
“Shaped by exquisitely meticulous research on Lacan’s 'Literary' seminars, this original volume is a beautiful literary work in itself. To read this book is to dive into the littoral, where the speaking-being’s letter and litter rejoin. I hope the book will be translated into other languages. It’s definitely worth it.”
Gustavo Dessal Psychoanalyst, A.M.E., Member of the W.A.P., and novelist.
