Reviews and Endorsements
An absorbing meditation on depression and melancholia... A persuasive theory of depression that is both moving and provocative.
New York Times
One of the very best psychoanalytic books on depression and melancholia.
Adam Phillips, London Review of Books
When Julia Kristeva's Black Sun begins seductively, with an elegant reminder of that old black mood we know so well, she raises hopes that the darker moments of depression will be illuminated... Kristeva's descriptions of the artistic working through of melancholia are compelling and theoretically sound.
Voice Literary Supplement
Extraordinarily rich.
