...Franz Kafka or by one of his contemporary imitators. It is a recent dream remembered in precise detail by a successful New Yorker (one wife, three children, fair income, no analyst) who works with every outward appearance of contentment in one of Manhattan's new, midtown office buildings. Whatever Freudian or other analysis might make of it, the dream could serve as a perfect allegory for an era that is almost universally regarded as the Age of Anxiety. It speaks of big city towers in which life is lived in compartments and cubicles. It speaks of the century's increasingly...

Power Drive. Anxiety won belated recognition as a social phenomenon in the U.S. from Karen Homey. Erich Fromm and Harry Stack Sullivan. To Fromm, the Freudian frustration of sex energy becomes anxiety only when it involves some value or way of life that the individual holds vital to his security?for instance, the prestige of having a pretty wife. Horney believed that Freud put the cart before the horse; anxiety, she held, came before the instinctual drives?...

...bogus rite having been staged by Carlson himself, a racketeer with a clipped, cultured accent and a Byronic lip twist, who quoted Nietzsche, drank sherry and drove caddish foreign cars. About the only nice thing about this suave swine was that he would occasionally, in a contemptuous Freudian way, massage the nape of his socialite mother's neck with slender, manicured hands. Edge really goes for hands-only last year it disposed of a sadistic multiple strangler called Big Frank, who had an enormous pair of them. For his services to soap, Big Frank's hands were cast...

...premiere in Dresden in 1909, it nearly shocked the critics out of their seats. For the better part of two hours, Strauss's orchestra rages, shrieks and howls with a kind of demented fury. Moreover, Librettist Hugo von Hofmannsthal's reading of Sophocles bristles with frank Freudian overtones of a kind the operatic stage had not seen before and would not see again until Berg's Wozzeck. All in all, the audience tended to agree with the fabled Ernestine Schumann-Heink, who sang the first Klytaemnestra but vowed never to do it again. "It was frightful," said...

This common type of aggressive intellectual tease is new to Griff, but he is happily prepared to be teased-until she goes too far. In a lecture, "Religion or Eroticism," Lydia indulges in pseudo-Freudian persiflage on all Griff's favorite hymns. "Bloody blasphemous cow," he thinks, and tells her off in strong valley language. It is a compelling story so far-both gay and dismal. But Novelist Gallic will not let Griff welsh on his Welsh-ness : she wants him to win. In the end, the stage seems set for a true marriage of mathematics and letters...
