The Unhappiness of Being a Single Man: Essential Stories

內容簡介

內容簡介 ‘The supreme fabulist of modern man’s cosmic predicament’ John Updike‘The stories are dreamlike, allegorical, ghoulishly detached, exquisitely comic, numinous, and prophetic’ New York TimesThe essential stories of one of the twentieth century’s greatest and most influential writersNo one has captured the modern experience, its wild dreams, strange joys, its neuroses and boredom, better than Franz Kafka. His vision, with its absurdity and twisted humour, has lost none of its force or relevance today. This essential collection, translated and selected by Alexander Starritt, casts fresh light on Kafka's genius.Alongside brutal depictions of violence and justice are jokes and deceptively slight, mysterious fables. These unforgettable pieces reflect the brilliance at the core of Franz Kafka, arguably most fully expressed within his short stories. Together they showcase a writer of unmatched imaginative depth, capable of expressing the most profound reality with a wry smile.Part of the Pushkin Press Classics series: timeless storytelling by icons of literature, hand-picked from around the globeTranslated by Alexander Starritt
