John Banville's Narcissistic Fictions is an exploration of
Banville's novels from the point of view of various psychoanalytic
understandings of the concept of narcissism. It presents this
increasingly central figure in contemporary fiction as a writer for
whom narcissism is both an essential truth of selfhood and a
fundamental aspect of the writing of fiction. Though it deals with
a number of theoretical concepts, it does so in a straightforward
and highly accessible manner. The book is not simply a reading of a
single, isolated aspect of Banville's work; rather, it presents
narcissism as the key to understanding this writer, and as a way of
bringing together the various disparate strands - thematic,
stylistic and formal - of his complex and enigmatic oeuvre.
