publication · 2026-04-24

The March 2016 issue of artpress features a review of Catherine Millot's book 'La Vie avec Lacan', published by Gallimard in the 'L'infini' collection. The review, part of the 'Le feuilleton' column, discusses the proliferation of books on Jacques Lacan, his writings, theories, and thought, noting that libraries could be filled with them. It highlights that biographies of Lacan, including the essential one by Élisabeth Roudinesco, should be added to the shelves. Millot's work offers a personal account of her analysis with Lacan, providing intimate insights into the psychoanalyst's life and practice. The review emphasizes the unique perspective Millot brings, distinct from theoretical analyses, focusing on the lived experience with Lacan. The article is written by an unnamed critic and appears on page 82 of the issue.
