Joseph Skibell: A Curable Romantic

Thursday, November 10 | 10 a.m.

Imagine Sigmund Freud standing in a room full of mirrors. Like those images, Freud will be back as a powerful presence in the life of the young Dr. Jakob Sammelsohn: a shy young man, a bit lonely, dreamy and painfully romantic.

Then comes an extraordinary third figure, that of Emma Eckstein, a patient of Freud’s, who is "cruel, vindictive, haughty, caustic, dismissive, even murderous. " This latest novel from the author of A Blessing on the Moonis filled with rich, exceedingly clever portraits and wildly entertaining scenes.
