That the knot which ties literature and film to psychoanalysis is intimate and durable is the beautifully validated premise of this collection. Over the last century periodic attempts to sever this tie have been met with renewed, and often more vigorous, forms of attachment. In the face of today's post-critical calls for a definitive severance, the various essays assembled here demonstrate, in ways wily, rigorous, and robust, why this knot cannot be unloosed. -- Joan Copjec, Brown University
