Introducing Kafka

Franz Kafka wrote in the tradition of the great Yiddish storytellers, bringing to it a unique literary language of transformation and escapism. Alienated from his roots, his family and his own body, Kafka's fascinating existence is superbly illuminated in Introducing Kafka by the infamous underground comic artist Robert Crumb.
