| Synopsis: |
"Franz Kafka: The Ghosts in the Machine" adds an original critical framework to the work begun by Stanley Corngold and Benno Wagner in their monumental collection "Franz Kafka: The Office Writings" (2008). It is widely acknowledged that Kafka s daytime occupation as a specialist in industrial accident insurance contributed in a significant way to his fiction. Corngold and Wagner frame Kafka s writings as cultural events, each work reflecting the economic and cultural discourses of his epoch. In pursuing Kafka s avowed interest in the theory and practice of insurance, the authors view the two systems of his literary worlds the official and the personal as a bundling together of the various cultural accidents of Kafka s time. The work of two of the leading scholars of the single most influential writer of literary modernity, "Franz Kafka: The Ghosts in the Machine" constitutes a breathtakingly original advance in the study of both the more famous and less well-known works of this enigmatic master." |
