Acclaimed Kafka Biographer Dr. Reiner Stach lives and works in Berlin, and is the author of five books on Franz Kafka?s life and art. His recent publications include a playful compendium of odd ?finds? about Kafka: Is That Kafka? 99 Finds (New Directions, 2016) and the third volume of his monumental, award-winning Kafka biography. Kafka: The Early Years (S. Fischer, 2014, English translation by Shelley Frisch, Princeton University Press, 2016) offers an unmatched account of how a boy who grew up in an old Central European monarchy became a writer who helped create modern literature. Dr. Stach is the 2016 recipient of the prestigious Joseph Breitbach Prize for setting new standards in the writing of literary biographies.
Kathi Diamant, Director of the Kafka Project, SDSU, and author of Kafka?s Last Love: The Mystery of Dora Diamant, will facilitate the talk.
This event is part of the Humanities in Action series sponsored by the Department of English and Comparative Literature and is supported by the SDSU German Studies Program and the College of Arts and Letters. Professor Stach?s talks are arranged courtesy of Adventures by the Book.
