In his fourth book, Love: From Motion to Feeling, Jack Wiener writes a moving account of his lifelong quest to retrieve lost love, from early childhood to age 91. Through the lenses of psychoanalysis, a life in the performing arts, and his work teaching dance and movement to students of all ages, he tracks his growing self-awareness from early childhood, amid disappointments, failed romances, and afrightening bout of long Covid…ultimately reaching a place of deep wisdom, acceptance, and joy.

This lyrical little book imagines the experiences and possible afterlives of a much-loved but lost little soul. Isaac André Gedalia is our narrator: an endearingly wise and witty unborn child whose spirit transcends mortality in its quest to connect with grieving parents, future alternative mothers, and the enduring tragedy of diaspora and Shoah encoded in his name. A courageous and deeply personal testimony of trauma, it is also a hopeful, humorous meditation on the human condition. –Carol Symes, Professor of History, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

Linda A.W. Brakel, M.D. practiced psychoanalysis for around 40 years, during which time she conducted empirical investigations that helped to establish the Primary Processes as the original System One type of mentation. This is turn, aligned aspects of psychoanalytic theory with cognate fields including evolutionary biology, philosophy of mind, and philosophy of action. Brakel currently regards herself as an interdisciplinary (albeit) tangential academic.
Brakel has published 4 solo volumes: Philosophy, Psychoanalysis, and the A-Rational Mind (Oxford, 2009); Unconscious Knowing (Oxford, 2010); The Ontology of Psychology (Routledge, 2013); and Investigations into the Trans Self and Moore’s Paradox (Palgrave Macmillan, 2021).
More recently Brakel has published works in Frontiers in Public Health on Vaccine Refusal and in Frontiers in Human Neuroscience offering a Mind/Body view that is in principle subject to neuroscience test. The current volume, Asymptotic American, is her second poetry collection, both published by IP Books.
Linda, a native New Yorker, lives in Ann Arbor, Michigan with her husband Arthur and dog Lexie. As Asymptotic Americans all, they are sad and angry about the etrogressive MA movement harming the United States, the World, the Planet.
