Mencken in the fields of philosophy and cultural criticism and Upton Sinclair, Kay Boyle, Kurt Vonnegut, Saul Bellow, Joyce Carol Oates, Cynthia Ozick, and Thomas Pynchon in the fields of narrative literature; and among the German thinkers investigated with regard to their influence in America are Marx, Hegel, Freud, Nietzsche, Heidegger and Adorno.
