Kafkaesque: the very word evokes tortuous bureaucracy, crushing self-doubt, and an almost unbearable inadequacy in the face of higher powers. After Kafka, it can be said, literature was not the same. In the few novels and short stories he left behind, he distilled the horrors of a new age. Kafka's is the voice of the outsider - that is, the voice of each one of us - at once defined by its affiliations and completely, utterly alone.
The product of both a transitional age (the beginning of the 20th century) and a nation in flux, Kafka spoke and wrote German in Czech territory. He was a Jew among Christians, a non-observant Jew among believers. Louis Begley renders with sensitivity and insight the life and work of one of the most enigmatic and intriguing figures of modern literature.
