About this title

Synopsis

Kafka's five-year correspondence with the woman he claimed to love reveals much about his complex personality and his literary life

Review

"Some of the most heartrending 'love letters' ever written."
--Morris Dickstein, The New York Times Book Review

"Kafka's correspondence with Felice has all the earmarks of his fiction--the same nervous attention to minute particulars, the same paranoid awareness of shifting balances of power, the same atmosphere of emotional suffocation--combined, surprisingly enough, with moments of boyish ardor and delight. Taken together, Elias Canetti observes, the letters provide an index of the emotional events that would inspire The Trial--a novel, Canetti argues, in which Kafka's engagement to Felice is reimagined as the mysterious and menacing arrest of the hero."
--Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
