What is Hysteria : a Novel about?

"Who better to confront parental wrongs & sexual acting out than the master himself? In HYSTERIA, Gross has created what many of us dream of—a direct relationship with the enigmatic Freud. In a story that is both delightfully deluded & emotionally raw, HYSTERIA is true to its name, you want to look away but you can't—this book grips you!" — Darcey Steinke, author of FLASH COUNT DIARYIn HYSTERIA, we meet a young woman an hour into yet another alcohol-fueled, masochistic, sexual bender at her local bar. There is a new bartender working this time, one she hasn't seen before, & who can properly make a drink. He looks familiar, & as she is consumed by shame from her behavior the previous week— hooking up with her parents' colleague & her roommate's brother— she also becomes convinced that her Brooklyn bartender is actually Sigmund Freud. They embark on a relationship, & she is forced to confront her past through the prism of their complex, revealing, & sometimes shocking meetings.With the help of Freud—or whoever he is—she begins to untangle her Oedipal leanings, her upbringing, & her desires. Jessica Gross's debut is unflinchingly perceptive & honest, darkly funny, & unafraid of mining
