‘There was a time when I felt that I had grasped Lacan’s essential being from within – that I had gained, as it were, an apperception of his relation to the world, a mysterious access to that intimate place from which sprang his relation to people and things, and even to himself. It was as if I had slipped within him.’ In this short book, Catherine Millot offers a richly evocative reflection on her life as analysand and lover of the greatest psychoanalyst since Freud. Dwelling on their time together in Paris and in Lacan’s country house in Guitrancourt, as well as describing their many travels, Millot provides unparalleled insights into Lacan’s character as well as his encounters with other major European thinkers of the time. She also sheds new light on key themes, including Lacan’s obsession with the Borromean knot and gradual descent into silence, all enlivened by her unique perspective. This beautifully written memoir, awarded the André Gide Prize for Literature, will be of interest to anyone wishing to understand the life and character of a thinker who continues to exert a wide influence in psychoanalysis and across the humanities and social sciences.

Essays & Correspondence

«Hubo un tiempo en que yo creía haber comprendido el ser interior de Lacan. Creía tener una especie de percepción de su relación con el mundo, un acceso misterioso a un lugar íntimo del que emanaba su relación con los seres y las cosas, también con él mismo. Era como si me hubiera deslizado en su interior». Así comienza Catherine Millot la narración de su experiencia vital junto a una de las grandes personalidades del siglo XX, el filósofo y psicoanalista Jacques Lacan. Millot, quien fue compañera sentimental de Lacan en los últimos años de su vida, es una reconocida analista y una figura del panorama cultural francés. En este viaje nos transporta a través de paisajes e interiores y nos acerca al Lacan más humano, aquel ser de extraordinario vigor que amaba el arte y a sus amigos, que reunía brillantez, pero también comicidad y vulnerabilidad. Y sobre todo, nos adentra en aquellos fructíferos años donde Lacan produjo algunos de sus seminarios más sólidos e inspiradores. "Mi vida con Lacan es más que un relato autobiográfico, es un exquisito trayecto que nos acerca a la vida y a la comprensión de nuestra irreductible soledad."
