Summary

Drawing on the writings of Freud, Lacan, and Žižek, this book proposes a psychoanalytical theory of reading grounded in the figure of forgetting. The literary analyses explore the works of Różewicz, Schulz, Rymkiewicz, Świetlicki and Sienkiewicz, rethinking reading as a transgressive encounter with jouissance.
