He: Shorter Writings of Franz Kafka

This is a Kafka emergency kit, a congregation of the brief, the minor works that are actually major. Joshua Cohen has produced a frame that refuses distinctions between what is a story, a letter, a workplace memo and a diary entry, also including popular favourites like THE BUCKET RIDER, THE PENAL COLONY and THE BURROW. Here we see Kafka's preoccupations in writing about animals, messiah variations, food and exercise, each in his signature style.
