Missing out, paperback/adam phillips

A new book to savour from psychoanalyst Adam Phillips, who is also regarded as one of our foremost prose stylists.

With his trademark combination of open-minded enquiry and exhilarating argument, he draws on the twin worlds of literature and psychoanalysis in a much-anticipated new book.

Reading Phillips, you may be amused, vexed, dazzled.

But the one thing you will never be is bored }Observer{.
