Book summaryKafka's stories--bleak, painfully comic, enigmatic--are invariably about man's alienation from daily life, but he creates a rich variety of worlds, from the absurdity of the hunger artist in his cage, to Gregor Samsa's vividly imagined transformation into a cockroach, to the profoundly ironic view of capital punishment in "In the Penal Colony." Media reviews"In Kafka, I have found a portion of my own experience of the world, of myself, and of my way of being in the world." |
