The thesis of A Gorgon's Mask: The Mother in Thomas Mann's
Fiction depends upon three psychoanalytic concepts: Freud's early work on
the relationship between the infant and its mother and on the psychology of
artistic creation, Annie Reich's analysis of the grotesque-comic sublimation, and
Edmund Bergler's analysis of writer's block. Mann's crisis of sexual anxiety
in late adolescence is presented as the defining moment for his entire artistic
life. In the throes
a book that would not escape his mother's notice. But to defend himself from
being overcome by the Gorgon-mother's stare he employed the grotesque-comic
sublimation, hiding the mother figure behind fictional characters physically
attractive but psychologically repellent, all the while couching his fiction in an
ironic tone that evoked humor, however lacking in humor the subtext might be.
In this manner he could deny to himself that the mother figure always lurked
in his work, and by that denial deny that he was a victim of oral regression.
For, as Edmund Bergler argues, the creative writer who acknowledges his oral
dependency will inevitably succumb to writer's block. Mann's late work reveals
that his defense against the Gorgon is crumbling. In Doctor Faustus Mann
portrays Adrian Leverkiihn as, ultimately, the victim of oral regression; but the
fact that Mann was able to compete the novel, despite severe physical illness and
psychological distress, demonstrates that he himself was still holding writer's
block at bay. In Confessions of Felix Krull: Confidence Man, a narrative that he
had abandoned forty years before, Mann was finally forced to acknowledge that
he was depleted of creative vitality, but not of his capacity for irony, brilliantly
couching the victorious return of the repressed in ambiguity. This study will
be of interest to general readers who enjoy Mann's narrative art, to students
of Mann's work, especially its psychological and mythological aspects, and to
students of the psychology of artistic creativity.
