casparb 's review for:

The Interpretation of Dreams by Sigmund Freud

---

Thought this was brilliant & more so than I'd hoped. Also fascinating as an act of autobiography. Perhaps the most unexpected outcome is - and I've got to hand it to the translator Joyce Crick who does a marvellous job - but Freud is exceptionally funny when he wants to be and at times unintentionally.

It does deserve its place as touchstone and centrepiece of his work. I should get around to Civ&Discontents at some point but think I'm going in stranger directions first.

Anyway a lovely time
