| Abstract | The Gathering lends itself to closer psychoanalytic study because the text’s exploration of sexual trauma is simultaneously an investigation of the inevitable human trauma of the split subject, as articulated by Jacques Lacan and his antecedents. Lacan’s ideas help to explain the inseparability of language and sex in Enright’s text, thereby illuminating the depth and complexity of narrator Veronica Hegarty’s struggles against and within language and sexuality in the wake of her brother’s death. |
