About this title: "What do I have in common with the Jews? I don't even have anything in common with myself".

"A wonderful and brilliant introduction to the life and work of Franz Kafka by David Mairowitz and with awesome illustrations by the legendary Robert Crumb. In less the 200 pages it awoke my appetite to read all the wonderful writing of Kafka,and to get into a more profuond and complete book about the life of this genius of world literature. The man who wrote the most famous first sentence in modern literature: "As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning after disturbing dreams,he found himself transformed in his bed into an enormous bug." - The Metamorphosis. And also wrote the second most memorable first line in modern literature: "Someone must have been telling lies about Josef K.,for without having done anything wrong he was arrested one morning." - The Trial. An exemplary introduction,little short of inspired,most recommended to everybody that loves literature!"
"A great introduction to a very interesting person. The book manages to explain fundamental themes and ideas surrounding Kafkas life and authorship in a easy and humorous way."
