A review from the Times Literary Supplement

Franz Kafka

Writing in the TLS, Gabriel Josipovici reviews June O. Leavitt's The Mystical Life of Franz Kafka, Stanley Corngold and Ruth V. Gross's Kafka for the Twenty-First Century, Stanley Corngold and Benno Wagner's Franz Kafka, David Suchoff's Kafka's Jewish Languages and Shachar M.
