Subject
Freud in Soviet literature: correction
Date
Body
To be more precise, in his charming autobiographic book (chapter IX: "Dangerous liaisons") Zoshchenko ventures a polemic with Freud. He also mentions (not by name) several doctors, Soviet Freudians. One of them explained to the author his recent surrealistic dream (human arm from the wall) by the fact that as a child, at a too early age, he had been taken to a zoo where he had seen an elefant's trunk (a fallic symbol!).
