On Kissing, Tickling and Being Bored by Adam Phillips |
Psychoanalytic musing on the mundane things in everyday life. In similar vein as Freud's examination of jokes and verbal slips, this collection of essays ferments with the author's enthusiasm. Prior knowledge of the subject is desirable, but not essential because either way you'll need to re-read it several times to fully grasp what he's saying. Heavy with insight and speculation but leavened with anecdote. Do not try reading after half a bottle of wine. Otherwise recommended.
