Christopher Bollas, The Granta Podcast

In this episode of the Granta podcast, we speak with Christopher Bollas, a leading figure in contemporary psychoanalytic theory and author of the forthcoming Essential Aloneness and Streams of Consciousness. A wide-ranging interview about his life and work appeared in Granta 174: Therapy.

In this further conversation, Bollas reflects on the relationship between psychoanalysis and literature, the significance of daydreams, and whether analysis can speak to the great crises of our time.

Thomas Meaney is the editor of Granta.
