Kafka`s Prague

Nearly 100 years after Franz Kafka`s death, his works continue to intrigue and haunt us. Even for those who are only fleetingly acquainted with his unfinished novels, or his stories, diaries, and letters, `Kafkaesque` has become a byword for the menacing, unfathomable absurdity of modern existence and bureaucracy. Yet for all the universal significance of his fiction, Kafka`s writing remains inextricably bound up with his life and work in Prague, where he spent every one of his 40 years. Klaus Wagenbach`s account of Kafka`s life in the city is a meticulously researched insight into the author`s family background, his education and employment, his attitude toward the town of his birth, his literary influences, and his relationships with women. The result is a fascinating portrait of the 20th century`s most enigmatic writer and the city that provided him with so much inspiration; W.G. Sebald recognised that `literary and life experience overlap` in Kafka`s works, and the same is true of this book.
