I could relate to many of the points you mentioned about writing about Banville. I didn’t know about your work on Banville. I’m also doing a dissertation on Banville and guess what… I’m doing psychoanalysis as well. (Mainly Lacan though). From what I read in your paper on Birchwood and Mefisto you are more interested in the post-Freudians. I can’t wait to read your dissertation. I hope it’ll be i print soon so I can get hold of it. Anyways, I was glad to find someone with psychoanalytical sympathies. There are not so many of us you know.

Cheers from France
Mehdi Ghassemi

I also spent 7 months in these jails and tent city in 2005 for civil contempt. We don’t treat animals like this let alone each other and the food isn’t fit to eat, ever. I survived, but barely, and was hospitalized for 11 days in intensive care immediately after my release. This Arpaio is one sick psychopath.
