Freud's Megalomania
by Israel Rosenfield
Review this book!
This insightful and comically revisionist novel presents Sigmund Freud as the perpetrator of an entirely new theory of morality, connecting it inextricably with megalomania. The novel takes the form of Freud's paper on the subject, resurrected after World War II by a cognitive scientist who adds his own annotations to the work. A New York Times Notable Book for the year 2000.

Publisher Notes
A lost manuscript of Freud has been found in which he realizes that he has been a victim of his own self-delusion and goes about setting the record straight with a new theory of human behavior--that it is not drives that define us but rather our boundless capacity to deceive ourselves.
Media Reviews
