What can Alice in Wonderland teach us about childhood? Could
reading Conversations with Friends guide us through first love?
Does Esther Greenwood's glittering success and subsequent collapse
in The Bell Jar help us understand ambition? And, finally, what can
we learn about death from Virginia Woolf? Literature matters. Not
only does it provide escapism and entertainment, but it also holds
a mirror up to our lives to show us aspects of ourselves we may not
have seen or understood. From jealousy to grief, fierce love to
deep hatred, our inner lives become both stranger and more familiar
when we explore them through fiction. Josh Cohen, a psychoanalyst
and Professor of Modern Literary Theory, delves deep into the inner
lives of the most memorable and vivid characters in literature. His
analysis of figures such as Jay Gatsby and Mrs Dalloway offers
insights into the greatest questions about the human experience,
ones that we can all learn from. He walks us through the different
stages of existence, from childhood to old age, showing that
literature is much more than a refuge from the banality and rigour
of everyday life - through the experiences of its characters, it
can show us ways to be wiser, more open and more self-aware.
