This book marks the 50^th anniversary of Melanie Klein's landmark work Envy and Gratitude, and gives a timely opportunity to see how the book and her concepts have fared and are viewed and used today by contemporary psychoanalysts. The list of contributors to the book is impressive. I found myself frequently thinking ‘What a feast!’, although this comment could be unconsciously related to the subject matter— the bounteous and ‘inexhaustible’ breast and our reactions to it, both grateful and envious (I will have an eye to my own envious reaction in what follows).
