Kafka is a challenging chronicler of a nightmarish world. Steve Coots's lively text introduces the reader to Kafka's dark and often unsettling mid-European imagination. This book sets Kafka in context and explores his relevance to our modern world.
In exploring his three novels and his major short stories Steve Coots's informative text looks at:
- The life and times of Kafka and the roots of his imagination
- His major themes and works, ideas and cultural roots
- How his writing is viewed today and how it comments on the events of the twentieth century
- The influence of Kafka on our view of society
The facts . . . the concepts . . . the ideas . . .
