| 520 | |a This book is an attempt to identify and properly contextualize the social critique in Kafka's biography and work that links father-son antagonisms, heterodox Jewish religious thinking, and anti-authoritarian or anarchist protest against the rising power of bureaucratic modernity. The book starts with biographical facts often neglected or denied relating to Kafka's relations with the Anarchist circles in Prague, followed by an analysis of the three great unfinished novels--'Amerika,' 'The trial,' and 'The castle'--as well as some of Kafka's most important short stories. The author grapples with the critical and subversive dimension of Kafka's writings, which is often hidden or masked by the fabulistic character of the work.-- |c From publisher's description. | ||
