Tribute to Freud

More about the book

Exploring the intersection of personal and historical crises, this memoir recounts H.D.'s therapy sessions with Freud during a tumultuous period in Vienna marked by the rise of Hitler. The narrative is divided into two parts: "Writing on the Wall," reflecting on her experiences a decade later, and "Advent," a journal from her analysis. Through poignant prose and Freud's letters, the book offers an intimate portrait of the iconic psychoanalyst while intertwining themes of memory, dreams, and the looming specter of war.
