Develops an alternative intellectual history of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, showing how a strain of German-language literature worked against the common conception of modernity. Paul Buchholz suggests that Gustav Landauer, Franz Kafka, Thomas Bernhard, and Wolfgang Hilbig each considered how the "void" of mass society could be the precondition for a new, anarchic form of community.
