Reviews

Contains new material and insights by noted scholars whose work represents a full range of methodological and thematic diversity.
*CHOICE*

Appropriately reflects the ever-widening circles within which Kafka's texts can be viewed. Especially prominent ... are the discussions of texts as meta-narratives, their thematizations of problematic message transfer, and their meditations on unbridgeable misconception.
*MODERN AUSTRIAN LITERATURE*

This is a particularly successful collection,... several of whose individual studies will undoubtedly become touchstones of future Kafka research.
*GERMAN STUDIES REVIEW*

This collection is necessary for any student of Kafka. The voices represented here, from the seasoned ... to the newly emerging, speak to the wide methodological range that typifies Kafka studies.
*GERMAN QUARTERLY*
