ABOUT THE LONDON REVIEW BOOKSHOP
Located in the heart of Bloomsbury, just a Rosetta Stone’s throw from the British Museum, the London Review Bookshop has established itself as an essential part of the capital’s cultural life. Opened in 2003 by the London Review of Books, it’s a place for people who love books to meet, talk, drink excellent tea and coffee, consume delicious cake, and of course, browse.
Our selection of more than 20,000 titles ranges from the classics of world literature to the cutting edge of contemporary fiction and poetry, not forgetting a copious display of history, politics, philosophy, cookery, essays and children’s books. And our lovely shop, designed by Amanda Culpin of utility provides the perfect setting in which to explore them all.
THE CAKE SHOP
Surrounded by books and fragrant with tea, the London Review Cake Shop is the modern answer to London’s long-lost literary coffee-houses. Accessed through the Bookshop via a corridor in the history section, the Cake Shop offers a small but vibrant menu, a wide selection of fine teas and a superior espresso. Above all, it provides a haven for reading and reflection.
The London Review Bookshop and Cake Shop are open Monday- Saturday, 10 a.m. - 6.30 p.m. The Bookshop is also open on Sunday, 12 p.m. - 6 p.m.
14 Bury Place, London WC1A 2JL. Tel. 020 7269 9045.
He makes many psychoanalytic theories very accessible (not using the usual psychobabble) and opens them up, making more space.
Thank you. Listening to the talk was a great pleasure. And an unforbidden one at that!
Fascinating stuff, wonderful
VERY GOOD
Really enjoyed!
""Your doubt could be the most interesting thing about your pleasure, here" In other words, I would say, "This so-called perversion, is a conversation stopper."
If someone like this came to me, I would a certain combination of, in the ordinary analytic way, trace something to the preconditions for this; but I would also, in a non-psyhoanalytic way, be doing a version of persuading somebody that, actually, the thing that most excites them is actually an attack on their pleasure. Because that's my prejudicial belief."
I literally went like:
"wow"
If you are interviewing someone, it is generally a good idea not to talk at length about them in the third person as if they weren't sat next to you.
right? haha
Couldn't endure the interviewer. Gave up halfway through
I did too….. superfluous. miss jenny
Interviewer was just fine
Chris Oakley. Sssh!
this seems like an excuse for Chris Oakley to blabble on to appear smart or something. Is this an interview or a debate? Chris is very eager to have his ideas known
Unbearable interviewer…..
