> In 1975, when Lacan was visiting the United States on a
> lecture tour, Newman assayed -- in partnership with a young
> woman named Pamela Tytell -- to look after the pyschologist
> during his transit through Gotham City. Hilarious adventures
> ensued, fueled by Lacan's conviction that his fame had been
> spread to every middlesex, village and farm of the Great
> Republic; a delusion his attendents left unexasperated by
> telling the guillible staffs of sundry institutions that
> Lacan was Jean Paul Sartre -- always adding that one of
> the great man's eccentricities was a wish never to be
> addressed by name. Lacan spoke no English, and these ruses
> proved absurdly successful.

> Good in printed publisher's wrappers. A longish water stain
> to the front cover, and with considerable creasing to the
> spine -- suggesting that Professsor Newman read this valuable
> book repeatedly. We leave it to posterity to determine
> whether the inscription is sarcastic or pyschotic. We at
> the Sign of the Duck suspect the latter.
