This volume makes available for the first time in English a comprehensive reconstruction of Kafkas 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 Kafkas notebooks, translator Ross Benjamin brings to light not only the authors use of the diaries for literary invention and unsparing self-examination but also their value as a work of genius in and of themselves. Author Biography FRANZ KAFKA was born in Prague in 1883 to German-speaking Jewish parents. During his lifetime, he published groundbreaking short stories, including "The Judgment," "The Stoker," and "The Metamorphosis." After his death in 1924, his friend and literary executor, Max Brod, defied his testamentary instructions to burn all his unpublished writing. Kafkas posthumous work— including three unfinished novels, The Trial, The Castle, and Amerika—brought him worldwide renown. ROSS BENJAMINs translations include Friedrich Hölderlins Hyperion, Joseph Roths Job, and Daniel Kehlmanns You Should Have Left and Tyll. He was awarded the Helen and Kurt Wolff Translators Prize for his rendering of Michael Maars Speak, Nabokov, and he received a Guggenheim Fellowship for his work on Franz Kafkas diaries.
