Review Quotes:
'Bringing together six of the most provocative of Muriel Dimen's essays, Hartman wisely and playfully frames each with a team of invited commentaries that underscore Dimen's unique way of mixing theory building, self-reflection, and political aims to enliven the psychoanalytic field. The commentaries form a diverse set of interdisciplinary, intergenerational, international and intersectionally informed writers respond to Dimen's call for a wild practice, a revolutionizing form of psychoanalytic reasoning that does not lose sight of collective concerns of race, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, and class. Reading with Muriel Dimen / Writing with Muriel Dimen is a real treat: a brilliant and passionate conversation in which Muriel's vision and voice are given to us fresh with insight for these times.'
