Opis

Professor Brett Kahr, an award-winning biographer and scholar of long-standing, has resurrected Sigmund Freud from the dead and has invited him for a memorable cup of coffee--a pleasurable interlude in which the two men discuss Freud's life and work in compelling detail.

After digesting Kahr's highly accessible -posthumous interview- with Freud, readers will have come to acquire a thorough overview of Freud's corpus of writings, and will appreciate the historical context in which he scripted his pioneering psychoanalytical contributions.

A highly creative exercise in -imaginative non-fiction-, this book - the second in a new series entitled Interviews with Icons - will delight novices and experienced professionals alike.

Illustrated by Alison Bechdel--winner of the MacArthur Foundation -Genius- award and author of Fun Home -- this book will be the perfect guide for both students and scholars, and the ideal gift for colleagues.
