Conversations with Kafka: 1217 (New Directions Paperbook) - Softcover

Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

Gustav Janouch (1903-1968) was a young poet whose father worked at the same insurance company as Kafka. A certain amount of controversy has been aroused by his Conversations with Kafka: some have been skeptical that any human being can talk the way Kafka does in this book, but both Max Brod and Dora Diamant considered it authentic.

Born in Brooklyn, Francine Prose has published fourteen novels. The Washington Post has called her work a "sheer delight."

Goronwy Rees (1909 -1979) was a Welsh journalist, academic, translator and writer.
