This volume makes available for the first time in English a comprehensive reconstruction of Kafka’s handwritten diary entries and provides substantial new content, restoring all the material omitted from previous publications — notably, names of people and undisguised details about them, a number of literary writings, and passages of a sexual nature, some of them with homoerotic overtones.By faithfully reproducing the diaries’ distinctive — and often surprisingly unpolished — writing as it appeared in Kafka’s notebooks, translator Ross Benjamin brings to light not only the author’s use of the diaries for literary invention and unsparing self-examination but also their value as a work of genius in and of themselves.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 216mmItem Length: 135mmItem Width: 40mmItem Weight: 700gAuthor: Franz KafkaTranslator: Ross BenjaminContributor: Ross Benjamin (Translated by)Genre: BiographyTopic: Literary CriticismRelease Year: 2024 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
