Psychoanalyst and Professor of Modern Literary Theory, Goldsmiths, University of London
I’m a psychoanalyst in private practice in London and Professor of Modern Literary Theory at Goldsmiths, University of London. My research is at the borders of psychoanalysis, literature and cultural theory. I’ve written a number of books, including one on Sigmund Freud, on privacy, on our aversion to work and, most recently, on the relationship between literature and life.
