Franz Kafka’s works—marked by their surreal, thought-provoking, and often unsettling explorations of bureaucracy, isolation, and identity—continue to resonate deeply with readers and artists across the world.
Join us as we dive into Kafka’s world through a variety of engaging events this fall.
Join us for a special book talk featuring author Magdaléna Platzová and translator Alex Zucker discussing Life After Kafka. This novel imagines the story of Felice Bauer, Kafka’s first fiancée, after she escapes the horrors of the Holocaust. The conversation will be moderated by Irena Čajková, followed by a reception.
Why does Franz Kafka’s spell remain unbroken a hundred years after his death? Why do we still perceive Kafka as so modern and contemporary? Because Kafka wrote such beautiful letters? Because we love drama queens? Because we feel that the world has never been more Kafkaesque than it is today?
