Having played a prominent role in the emergence of Asian Canadian literature that took place toward the end of the last century, Choy is best remembered for his first novel, The Jade Peony, published in 1995. Set in Vancouver’s Chinatown during the 1930s and 1940s, the novel depicts the life of a Chinese immigrant family from the point of view of its three youngest, Canadian-born children. In the memoir Paper Shadows, Choy portrays the lived experience that went into the writing of what would become his bestselling work of fiction. In April 2019, Choy died in his Toronto home at the age of eighty. It was in the fall of 1995, at the age of fifty-six, while in Vancouver to promote the release of The Jade Peony, that Choy learned in a rather abrupt way from an unknown Chinatown woman that he had been adopted as a child. The discovery would lead to the writing of Paper Shadows, and the story of this moment and the author’s subsequent delving into his family’s past frames the main narrative of the memoir. Choy was never able to uncover the identity of his birth parents, although he was eventually told that his father was a member of a Cantonese opera company that was active in Building a Practical Past: Wayson Choy’s Paper Shadows","PeriodicalId":384095,"journal":{"name":"ESC: English Studies in Canada","volume":"515 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123080866","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Seminar X, Lacan was finding a way to fuse his own earlier thinking on childhood development with a fresh analysis of Sigmund Freud’s 1919 essay “The ‘Uncanny.’ ” Given that Lacan’s influential 1949 essay “The Mirror Stage as Formative of the I Function as Revealed in Psychoanalytic Experience” can be read as a rewriting of Freud’s 1914 essay “On Narcissism: An Introduction,” and thus can be understood as part of Lacan’s broad project of returning to Freud’s original texts, we will suggest that, in the sessions from Seminar X spanning late November through late December of 1962, Lacan was returning his own “return to Freud” to Freud. In the process, he was changing its import considerably. The concepts developed in “The Mirror Stage,” which is now an indispensible part of psychoanalytic theory and a staple of introductory courses in literary theory, are known chiefly via Lacan’s 1949 essay, which gained new prominence once it was republished in Lacan’s epochal Écrits in 1966. It is easily “Lacan’s most famous theoretical contribution” (Johnston, “Jacques Lacan” sec.2.2) and, even by its first publication, was “a pearl which he had carefully cultured for some thirteen odd years” (Nobus 104).
