Abstract Christa Wolf’s novel Stadt der Engel oder The Overcoat of Dr. Freud has spawned an impressive amount of scholarly attention in less than a decade. However, two of the major themes of the novel—psychoanalysis and Southern California—remain underexplained. I provide a framework for better understanding both of those themes in the novel by connecting them by way of the role of Richard Neutra and his architecture in the novel. Neutra’s role in the novel has been almost entirely overlooked. Although he is not central to the novel, he does offer a way of understanding some of the more slippery themes of the novel.

Christa Wolf 的 Richard Neutra：Stadt der Engel oder 弗洛伊德博士的外套的建筑、精神分析和南加州

摘要 Christa Wolf 的小说 Stadt der Engel oder The Overcoat of Dr. Freud 在不到十年的时间里引起了学术界的广泛关注。然而，这部小说的两个主要主题——精神分析和南加州——仍未得到充分解释。我通过 Richard Neutra 的角色和他在小说中的建筑将它们联系起来，提供了一个框架，以更好地理解小说中的这两个主题。Neutra 在小说中的角色几乎完全被忽视了。尽管他不是小说的核心，但他确实提供了一种理解小说中一些较滑的主题的方法。
