A Cage Went in Search of a Bird
Ten Kafkaesque Stories
Checking Availibility...Description
A collection of brand-new short stories written by major international writers and inspired by Kafka - to commemorate one hundred years since his death
Franz Kafka is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most enigmatic geniuses of twentieth-century literature. Few writers have inspired as much interpretation, adaptation and imitation as he has - from films to novels to memes - and very few artists in any field have created work that captures so powerfully the fraught peculiarity of our existence.
What happens when Kafka's idionsyncratic imagination meets some of the greatest literary minds writing in English across the globe today? In this collection of stories, commissioned to commemorate one hundred years since his death, ten of our most celebrated international writers take ideas of Kafka's - motifs from his stories, titles of his famous works, or unfinished fragments left behind in his Blue Octavo Notebooks - and run with them to make something new.
