Description: This text explores the lives of four different escape artists: a little girl playing her own wayward version of hide and seek; Harry Houdini who electrifies the world through a series of escapes; a man always in flight from women; and Emily Dickinson who spends her life in solitary confinement.
Synopsis: Adam Phillips explores mankind's ongoing fascination with ideas of escape, looking at the great Harry Houdini and a case history of a little girl obsessed with hide and seek; at the notoriously reclusive poet Emily Dickinson and a man who believes it is his destiny to always be in flight, whether from women or his analyst. This is Adam Phillips' most captivating book to date.
