'A bright, fine-cut gem.' _Sunday Times_

Sigmund Freud lies ill. A man whose work, whose very life, has depended on the power of speech has now been all but silenced by cancer of the jaw. In the waking darkness he receives a strange visitor, who has come to tell a story that Freud will recognize.

But this is a different account of what happened when Oedipus met his father at the place where three roads meet. Salley Vickers's retelling of this great tragedy is as enlightening as it is unexpected. It is also a deeply moving portrait of the last days of Freud.
