My Own Private Germany: Daniel Paul Schreber's Secret History of Modernity
Eric L. Santner
Offers an analysis of Daniel Paul Schreber's "Memoirs of My Nervous Illness". This book denies that Schreber's delusional system prefigured the totalitarian solution to a defining structural crisis of modernity. It shows how this figure succeeded in avoiding the totalitarian temptation by way of his own series of perverse identifications.
