| Summary |
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. |
