Product Description:

An exceptional copy; fine in an equally fine dw. Particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and especially sharp-cornered. Literally as new.221 pages; Description: 221 p. : ill. ; 19 cm. Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. [213]-214). Subjects: Kafka, Franz (1883-1924) --Authors, Austrian --20th century --Biography. Summary: A new biography of Western literature's most iconic writer, from the acclaimed novelist and author of About Schmidt. Kafkaesque: the very word evokes tortuous bureaucracy, crushing self-doubt, and an almost unbearable inadequacy in the face of higher powers. After Kafka, it can be said, literature was not the same. In the few novels and short stories he left behind, he distilled the horrors of the new age. Kafka's is the voice of the outsider-that is, the voice of each one of us-at once defined by its affiliations and completely, utterly alone.
