Wool-Gathering or How I Ended Analysis

Reviews / Votes

'In the small canon of literary fiction concerned with psychoanalysis, Wool-Gathering is a milestone because, unlike all previous efforts, it is funny and not earnest. Gunn manages to make the agonizing question of when to end the treatment hilarious without slagging the whole process off.' - Oliver James; 'Gunn has done something that few people have ever achieved: he has written an exceptionally perceptive account of the last few months of his analysis in a way that is both gripping and entertaining. His narrative approach, encompassing the hilarious aspects of his daily life in Paris as well as the more associative and probing work of analysis, makes for a page-turner that at the same time explores the psychoanalytic process in provocative ways.' - Bruce Fink, Cornell University, USA; 'I cannot recall enjoying a new book as much as this for a long time. It is beautifully written, immensely engaging, very funny, very informative and, by the end, moving.' - Stephen Frosh, Birkbeck College, London
