What Does Kafka have in Common with Jews? : Papers on the Centennial of his Death (Perspectives on Jewish Texts and Contexts)

Kafka's Jewish background, interests, and readings, and their relevance for his writings, are still largely viewed as marginal within the vast domain of Kafka scholarship. By taking into account new findings, theoretical approaches, and historical developments, the essays in this volume reconsider and extend our knowledge of Kafka's relationship to Judaism and Jewish thought.
