Descriptions, Reviews, etc.

Description: The only available collection that brings together all of Kafka's stories--those published during his lifetime and those released after his death by literary executor Max Brod. Foreword by John Updike. "An important book, valuable in itself and absolutely fascinating".--New York Times.

Review Quotes: "[Kafka] spoke for millions in their new unease; a century after his birth, he seems the last holy writer, and the supreme fabulist of modern man's cosmic predicament."
--from the Foreword by John Updike

"The distinction Kafka, or his heroes, draw between this world and the world does not imply that there are two different worlds, only that our habitual conceptions of reality are not the true conception."
--W. H. Auden

"An important book, valuable in itself and absolutely fascinating. The stories are dreamlike, allegorical, symbolic, parabolic, grotesque, ritualistic, nasty, lucent, extremely personal, ghoulishly detached, exquisitely comic, numinous, and prophetic."
--The New York Times
