Description
Contemporary fiction. Thomas Ogden is internationally known as one of today's leading psychoanalytic thinkers. His many books and articles are admired as much for the quality of his writing as for the originality of his ideas. In 'The Parts Left Out', his first novel, Ogden brings to life in fiction what cannot be conveyed in an analytic essay. The novel is a suspenseful story of loyalty and cowardice, of love and human frailty, of destruction at the hand of others and destruction at one's own hand. The characters - members of a poor wheat-farming family - are determined to escape their fate, each in their own way, and some seem close to doing so.
