The War is about to begin. Sigmund Freud has fled from Vienna to London. Accompanied by his faithful disciple, Ernst Jones, he ventures out into this alien city. He goes swimming with Jones, and dancing with him. He finds his way to Madame Tussaud's. He consults a fortuneteller. <P>He uncovers a series of shocking secrets...Or does he? Perhaps Freud does no more than dream up versions of the city, each more insightful and extraordinary and magical than the one before. <I>Freud's Alphabet</I> is a brilliant and moving narrative, closely based on fact, describing the last days of Freud; it is also a dazzlingly original series of riffs on Freud's ideas. It is the guide to all our dreams, and the guidebook to the world in which, ever since Freud, we have all been living. 1610485 2003 Freud's Alphabet total:9|5:3|4:2|3:3|2:1| 9 34 17 4 2118669 1582432198 9781582432199 3 1 3.78 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2118669.Freud_s_Alphabet_A_Novel 5 0 false Wed Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2003 Thu Apr 02 17:12:17 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 02 17:14:32 -0700 2009 i've always been interested in Freud, but it was when I read the biography of him by his disciple, Ernest Jones, that I was inspired to write about him.
