  Profile of Lisa Appignanesi for Crime Time magazine
Selected as one of their books of 1999 by both Marina Warner and Roy Foster, Losing the Dead is at once a quest and a family memoir of the rites of passage of emigration, childhood and growing up as an outsider in a closed community.
Appignanesi journeys to Poland to uncover her parents' past - Jews who masqueraded as Aryans during the Nazi occupation of Poland.
Appignanesi draws on her knowledge of competing therapies to create a riveting thriller which probes the workings of memory and friendship and the slippages in identity that intimacy can produce.

 Swans Commentary: Lisa Appignanesi's "The Cabaret," by Charles Marowitz - cmarow01
A certain spiky irreverence unites them all; a refusal to accept the banalities and moral strictures of the status quo, an irresistible impulse to 'cock a snook' while everyone else is standing at attention and intoning the National Anthem.
Cabaret, as Appignanesi vividly demonstrates, was an enclave where a more ebullient minority could take refuge from a humorless and usually oppressive mainstream population.
What Appignanesi does best is to create the atmosphere of the dives and makeshift taverns in which the art form first flourished making us painfully aware that, despite newer and fresher faces in comedy clubs and on TV, there is a dynamic communal togetherness that the electronic media have banished from our lives forever.

 Amazon.de: Freud's Women: English Books: Lisa Appignanesi,John Forrester   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
Lisa Appignanesi and John Forrester tell a fascinating and complicated story with great flair: Freud's Women is as scholarly as it is readable, moving between biography and theory to chart the intellectual history of psychoanalysis.
As the authors point out at the beginning of this study, when it comes to the "woman question", history has often taken the form of a trial (of Freud, of psychoanalysis).
In the wake of the so-called "Memory Wars"--wars which reopened discussion about the origins of psychoanalysis at the same time as questioning Freud's views on the "reality" of child sexual abuse--the culture of psychoanalysis, its claims to individuality and privacy, have been increasingly under attack.

 Book Review: The Cabaret
Lisa Appignanesi, a dissident PEN International member and an establishmentarian Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres of France, provides a very thought-provoking and richly-illustrated history of this institution which is making a comeback in our very troubled police-state times.
Irreverence, satire, humour, wit, a sense of the absurd, uninhibited eroticism and an internationalist perspective are some of the weapons pitched against an all pervasive state.
A leisurely reading of Appignanesi’s delightful book will certainly bring hope for those of us who want our “little room” where we can rail against the establishment before taking to the streets to subvert it.

 The Cabaret   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
This captivating book presents a uniquely comprehensive cultural history of cabaret, where the most radical of artists, poets, writers, musicians, and theater directors have gathered since 1881.
Lisa Appignanesi takes us to the original cabaret—the smoke-filled rooms of the Chat Noir in Paris that served as a meeting place for the avant-garde and a laboratory of subversion against the establishment.
This much revised and updated edition of Appignanesi’s classic work is enriched with materials that have become more accessible in the post-Soviet era.

 Nights And Weekends - Paris Requiem Review
Though it’s far from a quick and easy read, Paris Requiem is nonetheless a captivating one.
Appignanesi takes the reader through the most intriguing circles of turn-of-the-twentieth-century Paris -- and explores the colorful world of the theater, the sophisticated dinner-parties of the wealthy, the terrifying starkness of the city hospitals and the local asylum, and the darkness of the city’s multitude of brothels.
While the writing style is a bit awkward and could have used another run-through by the editor, the story itself is entrancing.
