In ‘Wildly Constant’ Anne Carson quotes Anna Freud, and we recorded Gwendoline Christie reading it in Sigmund Freud’s study in the house in Hampstead where he spent the last year of his life and where Anna lived until her death in 1982.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe concluding fourth volume in the series will be released in time for Christmas.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The LRB Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58752783286653,"sku":null,"price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/0667\/8342\/files\/LRB_45s_Vol3_1_c2bfa76d-34a5-4b85-8ac9-8aa6bcaab99e.jpg?v=1790351636","url":"https:\/\/www.lrbstore.com\/products\/lrb-45s-volume-4","provider":"The LRB Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
