tildahlia's review against another edition
3.0
Janet Malcolm could make a write up of anything interesting. She is a true journalist in understanding how to create tension, draw the reader in only to surprise them with the unexpected and how to delicately balance telling the reader as opposed to letting them form their own conclusions. Enjoyed her writing immensely, but the subject matter of this book was less captivating. Learnt a bit about Freud and the social politics of the psychoanalysis world but really, it is just about male egos and dick swinging and to that extent, it didn’t surprise me as much as I thought. A solid short read though.

I can see why the creator of the White Lotus adores this book

Janet Malcolm's cool, judicious eye is a weapon of mass destruction. Spectacular.

(Presumably in a Peter Griffin voice) OH MY GOD WHO THE HELL CARES?
Everyone in this book is awful. Freud is a joke. This is pretty much trash.
