Inhaltsangabe:
Franz Kafka: The Ghosts in the Machine adds an original critical framework to the work begun by Stanley Corngold and Benno Wagner in their monumental collection Franz Kafka: The Office Writings (2008). It is widely acknowledged that Kafka&;s daytime occupation as a specialist in industrial accident insurance contributed in a significant way to his fiction. 
Corngold and Wagner frame Kafka&;s writings as cultural events, each work reflecting the economic and cultural discourses of his epoch. In pursuing Kafka&;s avowed interest in the theory and practice of insurance, the authors view the two systems of his literary worlds&;the official and the personal&;as a &;bundling&; together of the various cultural accidents of Kafka&;s time. The work of two of the leading scholars of the single most influential writer of literary modernity, Franz Kafka: The Ghosts in the Machine constitutes a breathtakingly original advance in the study of both the more famous and less well-known works of this enigmatic master.
