To be more precise, in his charming autobiographic
book (chapter IX: "Dangerous liaisons") Zoshchenko ventures a polemic with
Freud. He also mentions (not by name) several doctors, Soviet Freudians. One of
them explained to the author his recent surrealistic dream (human arm from
the wall) by the fact that as a child, at a too early age, he had been
taken to a zoo where he had seen an elefant's trunk (a fallic
symbol!).
