"Il convient de remarquer que si un homme qui se croit un roi est fou, un roi qui se croit un roi ne l'est pas moins."

"It is worth noting that if a man who believes himself to be a king is mad, a king who believes himself to be a king is no less so."

--Jacques Lacan,
"Propos sur la causalité psychique,"
1946

"A Father (puzzle)"
Sybille Lacan (1994)

Sybille Lacan was a child of Jacques Lacan from his first marriage. In the 1950s he'd left her mother to shack up with Sylvia Bataille (who'd been Georges Bataille's wife - apparently the three of them remained friend... all very Parisian). So her memory of her father is as a child from the forgotten family.

My lover, who eye rolls my passion for Jacques Lacan, stole my copy of the book and put it on her bookshelf. It is a very affecting interrogation of the daughter's question "What is a Father".
