Description
Book SynopsisAward-winning graphic novelist Peter Kuper presents a mesmerising interpretation of fourteen iconic Kafka short stories.
Trade Review"For tips on graphic novel adaptations, publishers would be well-served to look at Peter Kuper's
Kafkaesque. The renderings of fourteen Franz Kafka short fictions remain true, but not slavishly devoted, to the originals and the final product gives us new perspectives on classic stories. It certainly helps that Kafka's work is opaque and ripe for reinterpretation, but it is Kuper's art that makes it so fresh." -- Times Literary Supplement
"
Kafkaesque is a stout, enchanting exploration of Kafka’s work. Illuminating his curious character with such incomparable art galvanises the comic’s content, making each individual story land with dramatic flair... It’s not only a startlingly robust testament to the power of Kafka’s literary prowess, but also a splendid showcase for Kuper’s manic artwork." -- Starburst Magazine
"...fans of enigmatic pessimism can allow themselves a shudder of delight." -- Strong Words
"Brilliant... The Kafkaesque humor is intact, even enhanced." -- The Wall Street Journal
