Summary: Brilliant, IMPORTANT, Unintentionally Comic
Comment: I like to think of Sigmund Freud as the Groucho Marx of socratic philosophers. This ikon's influence upon the surrealist movement in art is surely no coincidence. Read in the proper frame of mind, the essays and excerpts in this volume assume a zany, over-the-top circus quality akin to the deadpan black humor of Pynchon and Burroughs. Combine this High Comedy with the fact that every American you know explicitly or tacitly abuses a Freudian concept in one out of every ten sentences, and you've got more than enough reason to drag yourself away from the t.v. and read it. A nice feature of this volume is that Peter Gay points out Freud's anticipations and rebuttals of what the rising tide of increasingly shrill anti-Freudians are saying today. Careful review of this book will teach you that Freudian psychoanalysis is no more dead, and no more a candidate for death, than Platonic idealism.

Summary: A review of Peter Gay's "The Freud Reader"
Comment: It is fair to say that "The Freud Reader" is the Freudian Bible...perfect for beginners and still useful for the scholarly. This book is perfect for those of us who have never studied Freud at a tertiary level. It supplies the reader with the relevant background information on the life of Freud in an objective but interesting manner.
