Do it quickly, I said to myself, get it over with. Try to think of it as something that happens to him all the time. People come to analysis and they lie down. He’s used to it. Like gynecologists or gastroenterologists. To the outside world, Julia appears to lead a fulfilling life. But beyond the competent wife, mother and professional lies a very different woman – an obsessive battling with the ghosts of her childhood. She consults psychiatrist, Dr. B, who offers her a psychoanalysis. He becomes the idealized omnipotent figure, the “Mr. Big” who she believes gives her life. Buried Alive is a highly charged, erotic journey into one woman’s deeply troubled mind and a moving account of her search for independence.
