The story of Oedipus examined by Tiresias, the blind prophet, and Dr Sigmund Freud in his last days, while he lived in a morphine-induced haze. Every aspect of the myth is brought up, and seen through Freud's cold analysis of human behaviour, while Tiresias looks at the human condition and human suffering in the allegory, with chance playing a game with men's (and women's) lives. A great read, with an ultimate redemptive release for both Freud and Oedipus at the end.
