Postmoderne Ästhetik erweist sich als besonders brauchbar für solch eine Freud-Kritik, da hier die Frage der nicht lösbaren Widersprüche in den Vordergrund tritt, gleichzeitig aber auch eine parodistische Neugestaltung tradierter Topoi- wie etwa das des Künstlermannes, die Rivalität zu der als weiblich begriffenen Natur arbeitet - erprobt wird. In diesen Kontext wird der Roman von Banks gesetzt, den die Verfasserin sowohl als klugen Freud-Leser wie auch als Kritiker verstanden haben will.
