Dora: A Headcase by Lidia Yuknavitch

5.0

I rate this book 5+++++. It took me on a wild journey, an escape into an irrational, yet rational mind where the tables are turned on our sick society. I love how Lidia brought Sig Freud to life and wrote her own take on Freud's Dora case. The characters' actions are so deplorable, yet you find yourself understanding and even relating to them. I really felt parts of Lidia from The Chronology of Water come out in this story. This book seems like an extension of her autiobiography, told in a different way and about a different time in her life. This was a rollercoaster of a story and made me think of the adrenaline rush I felt from reading Chuck Palahniuk's Invisible Monsters. I think Lidia and Chuck would write an excellent book together. I hope they consider it.
