This remarkable book, itself the result of a miraculous discovery of material believed lost, is one of the most exciting works fiction, nonfiction, poetry I remember having read. --Joyce Carol Oates"

About the Author

Gustav Janouch (1903-1968) was a young poet whose father worked at the same insurance company as Kafka. A certain amount of controversy has been aroused by his Conversations with Kafka: some have been skeptical that any human being can talk the way Kafka does in this book, but both Max Brod and Dora Diamant considered it authentic.
