SUMMARY:Book Club | Kafka: The Trial | Online
DESCRIPTION:The Book Club of the LBI New York is taking place once a month.\n  \nAbout the Book\nWritten in 1914 but not published until 1925\, a year after Kafka’s death\, The Trial is the terrifying tale of Josef K.\, a respectable bank officer who is suddenly and inexplicably arrested and must defend himself against a charge about which he can get no information. Whether read as an existential tale\, a parable\, or a prophecy of the excesses of modern bureaucracy wedded to the madness of totalitarianism\, The Trialhas resonated with chilling truth for generations of readers. (Description from GoodReads). \nAbout the Author\nPrague-born writer Franz Kafka wrote in German\, and his stories\, such as The Metamorphosis (1916)\, and posthumously published novels\, including The Trial (1925)\, concern troubled individuals in a nightmarishly impersonal world. \nKafka first studied chemistry at the Charles-Ferdinand University of Prague but after two weeks switched to law. This study offered a range of career possibilities\, which pleased his father\, and required a longer course of study that gave Kafka time to take classes in German studies and art history. At the university\, he joined a student club\, named Lese- und Redehalle der Deutschen Studenten\, which organized literary events\, readings\, and other activities. In the end of his first year of studies\, he met Max Brod\, a close friend of his throughout his life\, and the individual responsible for preserving Kafka’s work after his death\, and ensuring its publication. \nKafka’s writing attracted little attention before his death. During his lifetime\, he published only a few short stories and never finished any of his novels except the very short „The Metamorphosis.“ Kafka wrote to Max Brod before his death:  „Dearest Max\, my last request: Everything I leave behind me … in the way of diaries\, manuscripts\, letters (my own and others‘)\, sketches\, and so on\, [is] to be burned unread.“ Brod did not follow his request\, and in fact oversaw the publication of most of the work of Kafka in his possession.  Today Kafka is considered a master writer\, whose works are known throughout the world. \nKafka wrote all his published works in German. \nAbout the Guest\n\n\nVivian Liska is Professor of German literature and Director of the Institute of Jewish Studies at the University of Antwerp\, Belgium.
