This collection brings together two books by Sibylle Lacan – "Father" and "Ellipsis" – in which she, the younger daughter of French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan from his first marriage, tries to piece together the image of her father from fragments...
of memory, who never became a support for her. She calls her own birth "the fruit of despair," and her life turns out to be shrouded in a mysterious illness that no psychoanalyst in France has been able to heal completely.
While Jacques Lacan formulated the theory of the "Name-of-the-Father," his daughter sought this name within herself – through writing, through silence, through pain. Her prose is neither a confession nor an accusation, but an attempt to find her own voice and step out of the shadow of the great father.
"Ellipsis" is a continuation of this confessional work: here Sibylle speaks not only of her father, but also of herself, of her mother, of the world that never became a home for her.
This is one of the most poignant books about what it means to be the child of a genius – and how to remain yourself when your life is defined by someone else's name.
