Bowie focuses most of his attention on the influence of Heidegger's concept of time on Lacan, although this last part is desperately lacking in focus.
The other pieces in the book are utterly bland and have little or no connection to Lacan: a meditation on Freud's relationship to art (Ch.2), a technical and rather pointless comparison of painting and music (Ch.3), and an inexplicable discussion of Freud's relationship to the "European unconscious" (Ch.4).
