The daughter of French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan tries to make sense of her relationship with her father. Sibylle was the second daughter and unhappy last child of Lacan's first marriage: the fruit of despair ("some will say of desire, but I do not believe them"). "When I was born, my father was already no longer there." Sibylle Lacan's memoir of her father, the influential French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan, is told through fragmentary, elliptical episodes, and describes a figure who had defined himself to her as much by his absence as by his presence.
For years, this daughter, Judith, was the only publicly recognized child of Lacan--even if, due to French law, she lacked his name.In one sense, then, A Lacan abandoned his old family for a new one: a new partner, Sylvia Bataille (the wife of Georges Bataille), and another daughter, born a few months after Sibylle.
