What happens when Kafka’s idiosyncratic imagination meets some of the greatest literary minds writing in English across the globe today? Find out in this anthology of brand-new Kafka-inspired short stories by prizewinning, bestselling writers. Franz Kafka is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most enigmatic geniuses of European literature.

The search itself becomes a ritual, a curative ceremony that defeats the most virulent of afflictions - despair"--

A cada livro, ele corrige a escassez de obras indígenas ao mesmo tempo que retrata o custo trágico deste silêncio." — The Washington Post
