From Demosthenes to Joe Biden, Tuman brings us closer to understanding this enigmatic condition as well as reminding those of us who stutter that we are part of a unique and talented community going back centuries. This is a well-researched and important addition to the small but growing canon of stutter lit.? ?Jonty Claypole MBE, author of Words Fail Us ?Myron Tuman?s The Stuttering Son is a pioneering work by a masterful writer and scholar in this under-examined field of literary studies. Among the book?s many strengths is its compelling weave of discourses between the psychoanalytic, literary, and personal. The case studies are compelling in their dramatic fusion of the biographic and the literary, enlivened by Tuman?s engaging, anecdotal, storytelling voice and enriched throughout by the lucid elegance of his prose. The Stuttering Son is not only a significant contribution and welcome addition to this area of literary studies, but to our understanding of the traumatic origins of the creative impulse?on which it sheds an inspired and instructive light.? ?Stephen G. Brown, UNLV The Stuttering Son: A Literary Study of Boys and Their Fathers 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, Shakespeare?s Hamlet, and Nietzsche. By focusing on the issue of a boy?s emotional development, this book attempts to re-establish the value of a broadly psychological approach to understanding stuttering. Myron Tuman was a professor of English at universities in West Virginia, Alabama, and Louisiana. His work on male writers and their mothers, The Sensitive Son and the Feminine Ideal in Literature (Palgrave Macmillan 2019) follows earlier studies of male writers and their sons, Melville?s Gay Father, and female writers and their fathers, Don Juan and His Daughter. 606 $aLiterature, Modern$x20th century 606 $aLiterature, Modern$x21st century 606 $aLiterature$xPhilosophy 606 $aComparative literature 606 $aPsycholinguistics 606 $aSex 606 $aContemporary Literature 606 $aLiterary Theory 606 $aComparative Literature 606 $aPsycholinguistics and Cognitive Lingusitics 606 $aGender Studies 615 0$aLiterature, Modern$x20th century. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern$x21st century. 615 0$aLiterature$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aComparative literature. 615 0$aPsycholinguistics. 615 0$aSex. 615 14$aContemporary Literature. 615 24$aLiterary Theory. 615 24$aComparative Literature. 615 24$aPsycholinguistics and Cognitive Lingusitics. 615 24$aGender Studies. 676 $a809.933520431 676 $a809.93355 700 $aTruman$b Myron$01340020 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910627281503321 996 $aThe stuttering son in literature and psychology$93061558 997 $aUNINA
