Kafka & I by Can Xue

Kafka & I collects Can Xue’s reflections on the enduring cult figure Franz Kafka. Turning to the questions and contradictions posed by his female characters, the volume comprises a series of potent essays exploring Kafka’s mediation of worlds spiritual and mundane, as an important influence on Can Xue, and a prerogative for contemporary readers and writers writ large.
