Book summaryThis collection of takeoffs on Kafka's stories includes a story in which Kafka writes the screenplay to the decidedly un-Kafkaesque "It's A Wonderful Life" and another that turns THE TRIAL into a story about bad credit. Media reviews"The predominant spirit of KAFKA AMERICANA is intellectual gamesmanship, and the book demonstrates a persistent affection for the tricks of post-modernism....The narrative strengths that were so evident in Lethem's most recent novel, MOTHERLESS BROOKLYN..., are often muted here by a spirit of unrelenting cleverness." |
