Nope for Underground. The essence of the Underground Man's sickness was not schizophrenia but spitefulness.

Steppenwolf

I'm schizophrenic and much of his behaviour seemed similar to some of the symptoms. Though I agree it was not made with schizophrenia in mind, I believe that many of the symptoms are present.

Okay, that does make sense. Thank you for your hard-won insight and for making that distinction.

I'm thinking Philip K. Dick might be a good recommendation for OP, with maybe a similar caveat about what an actual diagnosis would be for the author or a (highly autobiographical) protagonist such as Horselover Fat. Have you read him, in particular VALIS? I'm deferring to your experience and wondering whether you think it might represent a true-to-life depiction of schizophrenia.

No, I haven't read Valis but I will give it a shot. Thanks. : ) Judging by a reading of the synopsis I would guess that you're right.

Naked Lunch
