The author of The Marriage of Cadmus and Harmony presents an original interpretation of the work of Franz Kafka in a series of essays that looks at the meaning of Kafka's stories and what they reveal about the enigmatic author himself. Reprint.
Review:
"An elegant writer, Calasso is particularly attuned to the strong erotic undercurrents in Kafka's writing and is suitably wary of finding any overarching philosophy."
New Yorker, 03/07/2005
Review:"It's a measure of Calasso's accomplishment that his readings feel familiar, as though his erudition were inside us, a pre-existing condition only waiting for diagnosis. His tone, while epic is also welcoming....[T]o sample Calasso's communion with Kafka is to feel the immediate need to reread the novels and stories, if only out of envy for the galvanic charge the activity has plainly put into Calasso."
Jonathan Lethem, New York Times Book Review, 05/01/2005

Book Description: Vintage Books USA, United States, 2006. Paperback. Book Condition: New. Reprint. 205 x 135 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. From the internationally acclaimed author of "The Marriage of Cadmus and Harmony "comes one of the most significant books in recent years on a writer of perennial interest-a virtuoso interpretation of the work of Franz Kafka. What are Kafka's fictions about? Are they dreams? Allegories? Symbols? Countless answers have been offered, but the essential mystery remains intact. Setting out on his own exploration, Roberto Calasso enters the flow, the tortuous movement, the physiology of Kafka's work to discover why K. and Josef K.-the protagonists of "The Castle "and "The Trial"-are so radically different from any other character in the history of the novel, and to determine who, in the end, is K. The culmination of Calasso's lifelong fascination with Kafka's work, "K. "is also an unprecedented consideration of the mystery of Kafka himself.
