Omschrijving
Franz Kafka was one of the most influential writers of the twentieth century. His writing contributed greatly to existentialism, and the term "Kafkaesque" is now synonymous with the literature of the surreal, the complex, and the illogical. This book dives deep into Kafka's mind, examining his motives rather than the results.
"Fascinating, contentious." (John Banville, New York Review of Books)"
