The Stuttering Son: A Literary Study of Boys and Their FathersÂ examines stuttering, a condition which overwhelmingly affects boys, in terms of the complex relationships a number of male authors have had with their fathers. Most of these writers, from Cotton Mather to John Updike, were themselves stutterers; for two others, Melville and Kafka, the focus shifts to how similar family tensions contributed to their interest in the related condition of anorexia. A final section looks at the patricidal impulse lurking behind much of this analysis, as evident in Dostoyevsky, ShakespeareÂ Hamlet, and Nietzsche. By focusing on the issue of a boy emotional development, this book attempts to re-establish the value of a broadly psychological approach to understanding stuttering.
