Peter-Andre Alt is a German literary scholar and the
president of the Free University in Berlin.
Kristine A. Thorsen is a lecturer emeritus of German at
Northwestern University.
"Peter-André Alt's Franz Kafka: The Eternal Son is a splendid
conspectus of Kafka's life and work, admirable for its scope and
precision. It is the single best study of Kafka if one wishes to
read Kafka's writings as an imbrication of life experience and
literary genius. Alt's study is a rich, redoubtable mine of
information and wisdom arising from the most scrupulous scholarly
attention to Kafka's work, body, and milieu." -Stanley Corngold,
author of Franz Kafka: The Ghosts in the Machine
"A very welcome translation of excellent scholarship that forces us
to question the relationship between an author's life and his work.
In this crisp translation of the original, English readers will
rediscover the joys of reading Kafka as he has never been presented
before." -Richard Block, author of Echoes of a Queer Messianic:
From Frankenstein to Brokeback Mountain
