More about the book

"In the Freud Archives tells the story of an unlikely encounter among three men: K.R. Eissler, the venerable doyen of psychoanalysis; Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson, a flamboyant, restless forty-two-year-old Sanskrit scholar turned psychoanalyst turned virulent anti-Freudian; and Peter Swales, a mischievous thirty-five-year-old former assistant to the Rolling Stones and self-taught Freud scholar. At the center of their Oedipal drama are the Sigmund Freud Archives - founded, headed, and jealously guarded by Eissler - whose sealed treasure gleams and beckons to the community of Freud scholarship as if it were the Rhine gold."--Jacket
