Interpretation of Murder.

I loved every word, and had

I loved every word, and had to read it in a single sitting.

I have 2 specific comments:

At page 244, after Littlemore is struck by the Stanley Steamer, "the car sped away [from Canal Street] down Second Avenue."
I think that may be incorrect, as even back in 1909 Canal Street and Second Avenue did not intersect. I believe the street it sped down would have been Essex.

At page 356, I don't understand Freud's explanation of Younger's rejection of the Oedipus complex. Correctly applied, wouldn't he have been jealous of Freud, and therefore happy for Freud to "take myself away from you...?" By the way, would Freud have used "complex," in that conversation, albeit that he and Jung have reconciled, but for "Not very long?"
