The Stuttering Son: A Literary Study of Boys and Their Fathers
examines stuttering, a condition which overwhelmingly affects boys,
in terms of the complex relationships a number of male authors have
had with their fathers. Most of these writers, from Cotton Mather
to John Updike, were themselves stutterers; for two others,
Melville and Kafka, the focus shifts to how similar family tensions
contributed to their interest in the related condition of anorexia.
A final section looks at the patricidal impulse lurking behind much
of this analysis, as evident in Dostoyevsky, Shakespeare's Hamlet,
and Nietzsche. By focusing on the issue of a boy's emotional
development, this book attempts to re-establish the value of a
broadly psychological approach to understanding stuttering.
