Course Description:
In this course we will read short stories, novels, and letters of Kafka with an eye to the artistic and literary trends of his time (expressionism, surrealism, art nouveau), the uniqueness of Kafka’s writing, and his influence upon later writers. Readings include The Judgment, Metamorphosis, and The Trial; we will examine themes such as unappeasable authority, inescapable guilt, and the individual marooned in an incomprehensible and perhaps merciless world.
