In the introduction to the recently re-published edition of ''Three Month Fever'', critic Christopher Glazek has coined the phrase ''deflationary realism'' to describe Indiana's writing, in contrast to the magical realism or hysterical realism of other contemporary writing.

Doctor Mabuse
Dr. Mabuse is a fictional character created by Norbert Jacques in his 1921 novel ('Dr. Mabuse, the Gambler'), and his 1932 follow-up novel ''Das Testament des Dr. Mabuse'' (1932). The character was made famous by three films about the character directed in Germany by Fritz Lang: '' Dr. Mabuse the Gambler'' (silent, 1922) ''The Testament of Dr. Mabuse'' (1933) and the much later ''The Thousand Eyes of Dr. Mabuse'' (1960). Five other films featuring Dr. Mabuse were made by other directors in Germany in the early 1960s, followed by Jess Franco's interpretation ''The Vengeance of Dr. Mabuse'' in 1971. Although the character was deliberately written to mimic villains such as Dr. Fu Manchu, Guy Boothby's Doctor Nikola, Fantômas, or Svengali, the last of which was a direct inspiration, Jacques' goals were commercial success and to make political comments, in much the same way that the film '' The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari'' (1920) had done just a few years previously.
