The book resembles a stream of anxiety fuelled by fears of loss and financial worries, both individual and social. Written as an interior monologue, it brings into play emotions and moods that everyone in todays crisis-ridden world is familiar with. The anxieties lurking around every corner are addressed here with profound psychoanalytical insight. Angst und Geld (Fear and Money) does not seek to get us over our worries and anxietiesinstead they are treated as a welcome opportunity and catalyst for literary writing. Author and art historian Isabelle Graw teaches at the Städelschule in Frankfurt and is one of the founding editors of Texte zur Kunst.
