Lacanian Analysis of James Hogg's novel

[cobrien80]

Hi!

I'm currently struggling with a Lacanian analysis of James Hogg's novel, The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner. I turned in a paper with this general theme for a Theory class last semester but am now just pursuing a complete revision/rewrite because I think it'll help me understand my obsession with the novel :D

Is anyone familiar with both Lacan (preferably read through Zizek) and this book? Care to talk to me about it before I go mad? :banana:

I wish I could help you. I am aware of Zizek's Lacan constructs, and have Hogg on my reading list. You've given yourself an invigorating thesis, but it would take me more leaps and bounds than I have in me at the moment. There was another poster here who likes Zizek. Can't remember his avatar.
