Robert Flinkers Romane und die Erfahrung der Psychiatrie

  • Nowadays, the Bukovinian writer and psychiatrist Robert Flinker is a familiar name only to those interested in the German literature of Bukovina. His literary legacy, which consists of poems, stories and two novels, was published more than twenty years after his death. This paper intends to analyze Flinker’s novels, Der Sturz [The Downfall] and Fegefeuer [Purgatory], from a psychiatric and psychoanalytical perspective. As a psychiatrist in the first half of the 20th century, Flinker was familiar with the benefits of psychoanalysis in treating patients. This raises the question of whether thewriter Robert Flinker was influenced by the new psychoanalytical discoveries and, if so, which theories he used in his novels. Moreover, it must be taken into consideration that Flinker, who had Jewish origins, wrote his novels during the Second World War. In this regard, the socio-cultural context had an impact on Flinker’s literary work.
