interesting-and clever if a bit too "freudian" for my tastes. The author says he let his daughters read a pg version. It's hard to imagine what that would consist of.

Nueva York, primera década del siglo XX, una época fascinante y turbulenta en una gran ciudad que está entrando de lleno en la modernidad. Se levantan los primeros rascacielos, aumenta la población con oleadas de inmigrantes que cambian la fisonomía de los antiguos barrios, y también se triplica el índice de delincuencia. Y no sólo los pequeños delitos, porque en estos años se sucede entre la alta sociedad de Nueva York una serie de asesinatos y de escándalos sexuales. Pero la modernidad de Nueva York no son sólo escándalos, rascacielos y automóviles, sino también el interés que despiertan las ideas que están cambiando el mundo.
El 29 de agosto de 1909, invitado por la Universidad de Clark, llega Sigmund Freud acompañado de sus discípulos Ferenczi y Jung. Y esa misma noche, en un lujoso apartamento del novísimo edificio Balmoral, encuentran el cadáver de una joven. Estaba atada, y había sido azotada y estrangulada con una elegantísima corbata de seda blanca en lo que quizá fuera un juego sexual que rebasó todo límite. O tal vez la obra de un sádico asesino en serie. Porque al día siguiente, otra rica heredera, Nora Acton, una rebelde para los cánones de la época, consigue escapar a un ataque del que parece ser el mismo asesino. La hermosa Nora tiene las claves para descubrir al asesino, pero ha perdido la voz y sufre de amnesia. La familia pedirá al doctor Stratham Younger, un joven seguidor de Freud, pero también experto en Shakespeare, que psicoanalice a Nora para que pueda recordar lo que sucedió. Y es el propio Freud quien supervisa las sesiones.
Pero no son el oscuro móvil de los crímenes ni la identidad del asesino los únicos enigmas que tienen en vilo al lector en esta espléndida novela. ¿Qué le sucedió a Freud en Nueva York, a qué ataques y conspiraciones tuvo que enfrentarse, que nunca más volvió a los Estados Unidos y llegó a decir que sus habitantes eran unos salvajes?

If I had only read the first half of the book, I'd have awarded it 4.5 stars. The research that Rubenfeld did to craft this book was immense and really brought early 20th-century New York to life in a fascinating way. The seamless blend of fiction and historical fact, combined with a gripping plot made the book unputdownable. However, the ending was quite ridiculous and I was bitterly disappointed. ( )

Sigmund Freud en Carl Jung komen aan in New York; ze zijn uitgenodigd om een aantal lezingen te geven. Psycho-analyse is begin 1900 nog een controversieel onderwerp. Het gezelschap wordt ontvangen door de jonge arts Younger (die deels als ik-persoon het verhaal vertelt). Het levenloze lichaam van een jonge rijke vrouw wordt gevonden in een luxueus appartement. Ze is met een zweep bewerkt, vastgebonden en gewurgd. Vlak daarna wordt een meisje van een gegoede familie aangerand en gewond gevonden, maar ze leeft nog. Ze kan zich niets meer herinneren en ook niet meer praten. De burgemeester roept de hulp in van Freud, maar die laat het over aan Younger. Wat is er gebeurd met het meisje Nora? Is de dader van de aanranding ook de moordenaar?
De onbeduidende, maar intelligente en vasthoudende inspecteur Littlemore is belast met het onderzoek.
Er worden veel personages opgevoerd in deze roman en hier en daar is het wat moeilijk te volgen, maar het verhaal is wel intrigerend met de mix van fictie, historie, wetenschap, seks, rangen en standen en waargebeurde feiten. ( )

[This is a review I wrote in 2007]

Not your run-of-the-mill thriller, Jed Rubenfeld has expertly crafted this book around Sigmund Freud's psychological theories, his work, "The Interpretation of Dreams", and his most famously known case-study, "Dora", here in the novel loosely portrayed as the character Nora. There is much debate amongst the characters about Freud's Oedipus complex theory, and a further interwoven strand of analysis involves theories about Shakespeare's "Hamlet", and in particular Freud's Oedipal analysis of Hamlet and Ophelia.

It's an extremely clever blend of fact and fiction, based around Freud & Jung's visit to the US in 1909; the crime, of course, is pure fiction! The plot is fast-paced, with twists, it seems, every few pages. This one really did keep me guessing almost to the very end. Very occasionally the theorising weighs it down just a fraction, hence the 4 stars. An intelligent & intriguing thriller, with likeable characters - I can highly recommend it. ( )

With the stolid and difficult Freud as anchor of his narrative, Rubenfeld takes the reader on a beguiling tour of the opium dens of Chinatown, the haunts of the rich at Gramercy Park and even the subterranean construction site of the Manhattan Bridge under the East River. If he lacks the rigour of a more experienced novelist in fusing the disparate elements in his narrative, his admiration for the troubled Freud carries all before it. When he was studying Freud as a young man, Freud's reputation was in flux, but Rubenfeld was always ready to defend his hero. That enthusiasm is the wellspring of this uneven but dazzling novel.

THIS much-hyped debut novel, a historical thriller by Jed Rubenfeld, a Yale law professor, deploys the surefire “Da Vinci Code” formula: titillation plus high-culture trivia. Alternating scenes of erotic asphyxiation with references to Copernicus and Hegel, “The Interpretation of Murder” takes as its subjects Sigmund Freud’s 1909 visit to America and a series of attacks on young society women. The result is both smutty and pretentious....The novel is difficult to put down. Its ironclad, cliffhanger-rich, shooting-script structure makes it a page turner, as do the breathlessly described episodes of oral sex, “CSI”-style forensics and cinematic violence. But, as with a jaw-droppingly bad movie, just because it’s riveting doesn’t mean it’s pleasurable.

New York debutantes are not the only potential victims of strangulation in this much-lauded but over-complex novel based on Freud's visit to America in 1909. Professionally, the visit was a success, and Freud's subsequent aversion to all things American has never been explained. Jed Rubenfeld's solution to this mystery involves society balls and mysterious Chinamen, decompression problems in the building of the Manhattan Bridge, vanishing corpses, the breakdown of Freud's relationship with Jung, power struggles between the mayor and Tammany Hall, two secret passages, an enigmatic cabal, bondage, flagellation, murder, and much, much more. Too much, in fact. However, a book which might have been an impossible tangle is held together by the enthusiastic intelligence of the author, who has vividly evoked a city and a revolutionary movement just at the moment of their emerging greatness. Yet somewhere in its Freudian subconscious a simpler and perhaps stronger story of power, skulduggery and romance is struggling to get out.
