Freud's Requiem: Mourning, Memory and the Invisible History of a Summer Walk

Author(s) : Matthew Von Unwerth

Reviews and Endorsements

By tracing connections among Freud's ideas, his personality, and the world he lived in, Matthew von Unwerth examines the links that Freud made between art and memory. 'Freud's Requiem' contemplates how, in mourning, we tell stories about our lives that give form and meaning to the events and feelings that threaten to overwhelm us. In recounting our stories, especially our darkest moments, we make sense of them and reclaim lost aspects of our lives, just as Freud did in his account of an afternoon walk with a poet and a taciturn companion.
