Psychoanalysis of a Teenage Novelist
Between 2011 and 2015, a teenager typed some two hundred thousand words on his personal laptop. From his private bedroom in Beirut, Lebanon, he transported himself to urban hubs as crowded as Manhattan, New York and as small as Charlotte, North Carolina. In three separate novels, he pitted against each other a mixed set of imagined characters: wizards and demons, lawyers and prosecutors, police investigators and secret societies. What drives an adolescent to ditch, on three occasions, the real world for a fictional alternative? How do children negotiate their dreams and desires with their forming superego, the newly-elected policeman of their thoughts? In this book, the same author revisits his literary odyssey to locate the psychical mechanisms underpinning his teenage behavior. While his theoretical framework rests primarily on the works of Hannah Arendt and Sigmund Freud, his findings connect to a range of disciplines: geography and architecture, citizenship and political science, gender and sexuality, theology and sociology.
Bad Men
The sight of a dead body is nothing unusual for someone like former CIA agent John Kaiser. People wonder why he handles the sight of death with such stoicism. Some assume he is used to the scent of blood. Others think he must be emotionally calloused. Kaiser has his own reasons, though. According to him, people aren’t propelled by tragedy—they attract it. So why should he feel sorry for somebody who’s not entirely innocent? Compassion isn’t exactly among the required skills for a special investigator. All he has to do is solve crimes—in this case, finding out why successful New York City attorney Patrick Donnelly was brutally shot late at night in Central Park. Despite years workin...

Torontino
Between 2014 and 2021, Tino and his grandmother Aida exchanged over three hundred letters. The Syrian widow initiated the tradition when her grandson moved to Toronto. She terminated it when she urged him to return there. Tino’s biggest mistake: in 2016, he defied his parents and renounced becoming a Canadian citizen. Aida’s deepest regret: in 1962, she obeyed her parents and renounced becoming a singer. The source of their suffering: Tino declared his smallest feelings out loud; Aida kept her biggest thoughts private. He wrote to understand his wavering resolutions for the future; she addressed him to justify her past. Fear of death plagued Tino, not Aida. He could not embrace the power of social media: his grandmother did. He adopted and abandoned Canada, the United States, Europe… the destinations of her dreams. She bemoaned life in Lebanon, Syria, Saudi Arabia… the triggers of his nostalgia. He strayed away from Islam until he accepted his fate. She remained loyal to the Quran until she bent destiny.
Sport and Psychoanalysis
Sport and Psychoanalysis: What Sport Reveals about Our Unconscious Desires, Fantasies, and Fears explores the intersection of sport and psychoanalysis, emphasizing the often-overlooked psycho-social dimensions underpinning the experience of sport. By challenging the idea that sport offers an “escape” from reality—a realm separate to the politics of everyday life—each chapter critically considers the unconscious desires, fantasies, and fears that underpin the sporting spectacle for both participants and spectators. Indeed, beyond simply applying psychoanalysis to sport, this book proposes how sport can be used to pose questions to psychoanalysis, thus using sport as a medium to elucid...
