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 today's 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 anxieties-instead 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.
