How James Joyce Made His Name: : A Reading of the Final Lacan (Contemporary Theory)

Argentine psychoanalyst Harari analyzes Lacan's twenty-third seminar, "The Synthome," which measures the boundaries between creativity and neurosis. In it, Lacan uses the writing of James Joyce as an example of how poetry and wordplay may offer alternatives to neurotic pain and even psychotic delusions. The text was originally published in 1995 in Spanish as Como se llama James Joyce? Translated by Luke Thurston. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
