Philosophers Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari considered Franz Kafka to be a mechanic of sorts, who would “open the hood” of fascism, dismantle connections and build new associations that point to conditions beyond the “faciality” of the subject. Critical theorist Theodor Adorno, as described by literary theorist Stanley Corngold, adds that “Kafka’s work contains the social genesis of schizophrenia” since, “though men are like copies of each other, they share a fundamental nonidentity. The individual and the social character of the same man gape wide apart.”._
