Recensione

Review of the hardback: '... ingenious arguments ...' The Times Literary Supplement

Review of the hardback: 'Thurston is able to demonstrate that it is the work of the late Lacan that finally offers us a way out of the hermeneutic trap of trying to solve the riddles of the text. ... a thoroughly researched, well informed and well written account of the late Lacan's encounter with Joyce - a phase in the history of psychoanalysis and its engagement with literature which is not known enough in the Anglo-American Academy because the primary texts are largely untranslated, and, as this study convincingly argues, may well be untranslatable.' Anglia

Descrizione del libro

Psychoanalytic readings of Joyce abound, despite Joyce's deliberate attempts to resist them. Luke Thurston explores the psychoanalytic directions in Joycean criticism that this very antagonism has produced, especially Lacan's notion of the unreadable in Joyce's writing. This study should be essential reading for students of Joyce, literary theory and psychoanalysis.
