In this classic of critical thought, Deleuze and Guattari challenge
conventional interpretations of Kafka’s work. Instead of
exploring preexisting categories or literary genres, they propose a
concept of “minor literature”—the use of a major language
that subverts it from within. Writing as a Jew in Prague, they
contend, Kafka made German “take flight on a line of escape”
and joyfully became a stranger within it. His work therefore serves
as a model for understanding all critical language that must
operate within the confines of the dominant language and culture.
