About

This captivating descent into a psychoanalyst's troubled, erotic, and harrowing inner world tenaciously plums the tension between impulse and restraint. Ruled by his hunger for erotic encounters, a deeply wounded psychoanalyst seduces both patients and strangers with equal heat. Driven to compartmentalize his life, the doctor attempts to order and contain his lovers as he does his collection of rare netsuke, the precious miniature sculptures gifted to him by his wife. This riveting exploration of one psychoanalyst's abuse of power unearths the startling introspection present within even the darkest heart.

Reviews

"Sex and psychosis are indistinguishable in this killer new novel from Ducornet. . . . [A]s fascinating as it is dirty and dark, . . . the plot is impossible to resist."
Publishers Weekly, starred review
"Ducornet is a novelist of ambition and scope. One is grateful for what she's accomplished here."
New York Times
"An unflinching meditation on the twinned drives of lust and destruction. . . Ducornet makes her characters real and scary beneath the ruminative, quietly observant prose. Highly recommended for literate readers."
