The fateful meeting of Freud and Horace Frink, and the ensuing scandal that nearly destroyed psychoanalysis In 1909, while on a fundraising lecture tour in America, Sigmund Freud met Horace Frink, an early disciple of his theories of psychoanalysis, whose traumatic childhood and complicated personal life later cast a shadow over Freud’s professional career—and came close to destroying his reputation. This little-known and ultimately tragic true story of two divorces, three deaths, and a ménage à quatre, as well as the questionable motives behind Freud’s involvement in it, is the subject of a groundbreaking collaboration between artist and animator Lionel Richer and the prizewinning philosopher, biographer, and novelist Pierre Péju. After all, what better medium can there be than the graphic novel to place the American dream on the couch of European psychoanalysis? | Frink And Freud by Pierre Péju, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
