About the Book

For people interested in James Joyce/Lucia Joyce For people who liked Will Eaves's Murmur For people interested in English lit, cultural studies, women's studies, history of psychiatry Enters debates about gender and identity, misogyny, agency, mental illness, the effects of the family on health Considers problems inherent in certain constructions of masculinity Considers the treatment of schizophrenia, especially in the mid 20th century, and public understandings of treatments for mental illness Contributes a feminist/familial take to the field of Joyce studies Of Pheby's previous novel, Playthings, Catherine Lacey wrote in the New York Times, "Agile and wily . . . with compassion and subtlety . . . the book's hybrid position between the historical and the fictional makes it all the more potent." Of Playthings, the Guardian wrote, "Throughout this compelling novel the space between reader and Schreber becomes a sombre reminder of how alone we all are." Playthings was called "the best neuro-novel ever written" in the Literary Review Playthings was shortlisted for the 2016 £30,000 Wellcome Book Prize

About the Author :
Alex Pheby was born in Essex and moved to Worcester in his early childhood. He currently lives in London, where he teaches at the University of Greenwich. His first novel, Grace, was published in 2009 by Two Ravens Press. His second novel, Playthings--about the life of Daniel Paul Schreber, whose case was made famous by Freud--was published in 2015 in the UK by Galley Beggar Press. Widely acclaimed in media from the Guardian to the New York Times, and called "the best neuro-novel ever written" in the Literary Review, Playthings was shortlisted for the 2016 £30,000 Wellcome Book Prize.

Review :
"A searching and fascinating book . . . Pheby's talent is for prizing open the ethical, literary and philosophical matrix of Lucia's case and resituating her at the centre of both an emotional and intellectual sympathy . . . An emotionally powerful and constantly questioning novel, Lucia probes speculation, truth and the fraught ethics of history, biography and narrative itself." --the Irish Times "Pheby is a writer possessed of unusual--indeed, extraordinary--powers. His Lucia is a fully accomplished account of a troubled and troubling life. Most importantly, he does not spare himself from the accusations of appropriation and exploitation that are levelled throughout the book towards others." --the Guardian
