Beschreibung

Neuware -'This bold and sharply funny new look at Kafka is told through Nicolas Mahler's distinctive graphic novel style and minimalist illustrations. Full of fascinating details and witty, absurdist illustrations, it's a delightful tribute to one of the world's great writers. Franz Kafka not only wrote prose, he was also passionate about drawing: at one time, he even said it satisfied him more than anything else. In this graphic biography, acclaimed artist Nicolas Mahler echoes Kafka's own minimalist drawing style in a unique and surprising approach to the great writer's life and work. Drawing extensively on Kafka's fiction, letters, and diaries, Completely Kafka illustrates the major and minor details that formed his life, from struggles with self-doubt and writer's block to a failed plan for a series of cheap travel guides'Libri GmbH, Europaallee 1, 36244 Bad Hersfeld 112 pp. Englisch.

Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

The young Franz Kafka has too many fears to name. Mirrors, clothing, his own body, almost everything causes him to fret. How did this 'anxious and small bundle of bones' become one of the world's great writers? With telling details and sharply minimal illustrations, Nicolas Mahler tells a wickedly funny story of the development of Kafka's genius, offering a tribute that is as playful as it is profound.
