Franz Kafka (1883-1924) is one of the most influential of modern
authors, whose darkly fascinating novels and stories - where themes
such as power, punishment and alienation loom large - have become
emblematic of modern life. This Introduction offers a clear and
accessible account of Kafka's life, work and literary influence and
overturns many myths surrounding them. His texts are in fact far
more engaging, diverse, light-hearted and ironic than is commonly
suggested by cliches of 'the Kafkaesque'. And, once explored in
detail, they are less difficult and impenetrable than is often
assumed. Through close analysis of their style, imagery and
narrative perspective, Carolin Duttlinger aims to give readers the
confidence to (re-)discover Kafka's works without constant recourse
to the mantras of critical orthodoxy. In addition, she situates
Kafka's texts within their wider cultural, historical and political
contexts illustrating how they respond to the concerns of their
age, and of our own.
