  9. Self-help for the literary set

    The great theorist of psychoanalysis Jacques Lacan envisioned desire as &ldquo;caught in the rails of metonymy, eternally extending toward the desire for something else.&rdquo; In the rhetorical figure of metonymy, a signifier points toward something else, some other signifier it's related to; just so, desire is constantly pointing toward the next object. It's not just that desire can't be satisfied &mdash; that when you obtain the object of desire, desire simply fastens on to a new object &mdash; but that satisfaction isn't even the goal of desire in the first place. No wonder we're so miserable.
