Description
Dora: A Headcase is a contemporary coming-of-age story that reimagines Freud's famous case study from Dora's perspective. With a darkly humorous tone and a touch of sexual play, this novel follows Ida as she navigates her relationships and identity. Ida begins therapy with a psychiatrist she nicknames Siggy, but soon discovers the therapist's games. She turns to art as an outlet, creating an experimental film with her friends that goes viral. However, when Ida's father suffers a heart attack, her life takes a dramatic turn. A rough cut of the film has gone public, and Ida finds herself in a desperate chase. As Ida navigates this chaotic situation, she must confront her own desires and identity. With its unique blend of humor and intensity, Dora: A Headcase is a gripping and thought-provoking read.
