Beschreibung
Lucy's Nose is a richly layered narrative that blends historical fiction, life writing, psychoanalysis and socio-political history to explore the intersections of memory, the imagination, and identity. At its heart is a detective-like quest to uncover the story of Freud's elusive patient 'Lucy R. ', a 30-year-old Scottish governess in Vienna who sought Freud's help in the early 1890s for olfactory hallucinations. As the contemporary author-narrator visits Vienna in the 1980s to search for traces of the woman who inspired Freud's case study, she reflects on Lucy's resistance to Freud's sexual theories and begins imaginatively to reconstruct her voice and life. Set against the symbolic backdrop of a historic Viennese train station, the text becomes both a meditation on time and a neo-Victorian experiment in autofiction, merging personal memory with cultural history and blurring the lines between fact, fiction, and self-creation.
