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"Dear Dr. Kafka: Mr. Franz Werfel has told me so much about your novella---is it called 'The Bug'?--that I would like to see it, too. Are you willing to send it to me? Yours truly, Kurt Wolff" |
