Why Kafka Is Not Kafkaesque

Kafka's stories are famous for their mysterious, somewhat sinister character, but what do they really mean? This short, readable book gives you a chance to explore four of Kafka's best known works including Metamorphosis and the Trial. Whether you have never read Kafka or read him a long time ago, it offers you a thought-provoking way into his work. Kafka's multi-layered writing can be funny as well as intriguing, but there is certainly much more to it than what is captured in the over-used word "Kafkaesque".
