Description

Book Synopsis
Grapples with the critical and subversive dimension of Franz Kafka’s writings, which is often hidden or masked by the fabulistic character of the work. Löwy’s reading has generated controversy, because of its distance from the usual canon of literary criticism about the Prague writer, but the book has been well received in its original French edition.

Trade Review
This reading of Kafka so thorough, consistent, and inspired can surprise, but it convinces; not by the aggressive assertion of a thesis, but by the quality of information, the rigor and finesse of listening; in short, by knowledge.- Guy Petitdemange, Etudes, July 2004
