"""A high-spirited, richly informed, and original portrait, a cross between biography, literary analysis and a study in modern canonization: Karolina Watroba is an inspired guide and her book a pleasure to read."" --Marina Warner, author of Once Upon a Time: A Short History of Fairy Tale ""An astute modern take on Kafka's importance, published on the centenary of his death. Watroba's studies take the form of a travelogue as she searches for 'Kafka's metamorphoses around the world, ' and she strikes a clever balance between contemporary connections and scholarly research. It's a pleasure to travel with her as she illuminates the global circuitry of what it means to be Kafkaesque today."" --Kirkus Reviews"
