Opis

'There was a time when I felt that I had grasped Lacan's essential being from within - that I had gained, as it were, an apperception of his relation to the world, a mysterious access to that intimate place from which sprang his relation to people and things, and even to himself. It was as if I had slipped within him.

Recenzje

"This beautiful poetic book is not only a unique portrait of Lacan by someone who knew him better than others, but is in itself a remarkable literary and autobiographical work. It draws us into the adventure of psychoanalysis, into a relationship with all its complexities, and into an era, described with an elegance and precision that we find so rarely today. A remarkable work that will find a readership far beyond psychoanalytic circles."
Darian Leader, Psychoanalyst and author

"Millot s elegantly written little volume, winner of the Prix de littérature André–Gide, serves as refreshing antidote to those who pigeonhole Lacan as writer of gibberish and irresponsible id."
The Spectator 

"A love letter celebrating someone Millot sees as an extraordinary and implacable genius."
Times Higher Education
