In 1975, Deleuze and Guattari, working within the conceptual context of Anti-Oedipus, published a book entitled Kafka. Toward a Minor Literature.

"An Exaggerated Oedipus' is the title of the second chapter, but Oedipus is not the key for interpreting the Kafka text: on the contrary, Oedipus is described as a libidinal machine, an investment of neuroses.
