Dora is suffering from repeated loss of voice and a nervous cough. A mystery novel about Dora, which investigates the events discussed in her analysis as clues to the unlocking of a story of love and betrayal, the book is also a critical study that rewrites one of the key texts in psychoanalysis. \u003cem\u003eA Case of Hysteria\u003c/em\u003e reveals an illuminating picture of Dora. The writer-turned detective traces the events recounted in the analysis, following the story to Vienna, Meran, and Franzenbad.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026lsquo;\u003cem\u003eA Case of Hysteria\u003c/em\u003e is [\u0026hellip;] only nominally about Freud\u0026#39;s famous case study, a departure point for a much broader, as well as a much more personal kind of reflection. In some ways, this might seem a rather perverse take on a book which, in its language and its form sticks closely to the letter of Freud\u0026#39;s text, repeatedly and slyly quotes it, mimics its original structure, borrows the intonations of its voice.
