Connie's review
When Nietzsche Wept: A Novel of Obsession (Perennial Classics) by Irvin D. Yalom
In this amazing novel Yalom blends philosophy, psychoanalysis and history and imagines what would have happened had Nietzsche gone into therapy with Breuer. The plot thrives on the tensions that arise between Nietzsche's nihilistic philosophy and Freud's belief in the fundamental role of relationships on human life and development. This book is an emotional and intellectual tour de force and brings to life two of the most magnificent thinkers of the 20th century. Yalom at his best!
I am embarrassed to say you are right. It is Breuer indeed abd Freud is his advisor. Let me rectify yet another mistake on my flaw-ful good reads page...
