Kafka by Robert Crumb

By Robert Crumb, David Zane Mairowitz, Richard Appignanesi

Kafka wrote in the tradition of the great Yiddish storytellers, whose stock-in-trade was bizarre fantasy tainted with hilarity and self-abasement. What he added to this tradition was an almost unbearably expanded consciousness. Here, Mairowitz's brilliant text and the illustrations and comic panels of the world's greatest cartoonist, Robert Crumb, help readers understand the essence of Kafka and provide insight beyond the cliche |Kafkaesque|, peering through Kafka's glass wall like no other book before. Must-have for admirers of Kafka and Crumb alike.
