Doors, Rooms, Stairs and Windows of an Intricate Literary Edifice

Produktbeschreibung

Kafka's Architectures is just as much about Kafka as it is about architecture, on the one hand, adopting Kafka as a lens to examine modern conceptions in architecture, while on the other, using architecture to pry open new interpretations in Kafka scholarship. Each chapter takes up an architectural condition to explore meanings central to both literature and architecture, during and after Kafka's time.
