How do fictional texts contribute to the development and consolidation of individual and collective identities? What role do they play in cementing particular perceptions, for example of sexual or national identity? How do fictional texts make it possible for such ideas and concepts to be aggregated into whole complexes of identities? With reference to Sigmund Freud’s lecture about “Creative Writers and Day Dreaming”, this article employs such questions to interrogate the most familiar works of two nationally iconic authors, Thomas Mann and Max Frisch.
