A Friend of Kafka brings together twenty-one short stories centered around Singer's most characteristic theme: the traditional life of the Jewish communities of Central Europe and their gradual disintegration due to changing customs and progress. But the writer's art, which always moves in a very subtle and nuanced way between irony and emotion, manages to universalize problems that at first might seem exclusively Jewish; by delving into characters torn between their attachment to the traditions in which they have been raised and their forced incorporation into modern life, Singer describes a shared anguish. Singer revives the Jewish mentality and customs, analyzing and evoking the traditions of his people during a period of disintegration.
