Combines illustrated biographical details with a visual adaptation of some of the great Czech writer''s works in a volume that includes graphic novel renditions of The Judgment, The Trial, The Castle, A Hunger Artist, and The Metamorphosis. Part illustrated biography, part comics adaptation, R. Crumb''s Kafka is a vibrant biography that examines this Czech writer and his works in a way that a bland textbook never could! R. Crumb''s Kafka goes far beyond being explication or popularization or survey it is a work of art in its own right, a very rare example of what happens when one very idiosyncratic artist absorbs another into his world view without obliterating the individuality of the absorbed one. Crumb''s art is filled with Kafka''s insurmountable neuroses. They are all there: Gregor Samsa''s sister, the luscious Milena Jesenska, the Advocate''s ''nurse'' Leni, Olda and Frieda, and the ravishing Dora Diamant drawn in that mixture of self-command, tantalizing knowingness and sly sexuality that Amazonian randiness and thick-limbed physicality that is Crumb.

Offers a collection of rare works by the comic artist, including magazine covers and portraits and drawings created for friends and family.
