This book examines 19th- and 20th-century German literature and film, works by Wedekind, Musil, Ataman, and Sanoussi-Bliss, following themes of gender, sexuality, belonging, abjection, race, and disease. Encountering mutual dependence and abhorrence, the characters rarely experience acceptance, showing that home is a difficult place to find.
