¿Éste es Kafka?

While documenting for his monumental biography of Franz Kafka, Reiner Stach visited numerous libraries and archives in Prague and Israel, where he made countless fascinating finds: manuscripts of extraordinary mischief or tenderness, striking photographs, letter fragments, and testimonies from contemporaries pouring a unexpected light on the personality and work of the Prague writer. In Is This Kafka ?, Stach brings together the ninety-nine most unexpected finds, places them by commenting on their provenance or contrasting them with the writer's work, thus revealing some new tiles from Kafka's always incomplete mosaic. Every detail examined helps to dismantle the stereotypical myth of the neurotic and tortured writer, exposing previously ignored aspects of the colorful personality of one of the greatest authors of all time.
