Kafka

"Kafka - a Freudo-Structuralist Analysis" is an analysis dealing with Kafka's Novels and short Stories. This book concentrates mainly on the understanding of what contributed to the famous Kafka effect, - the "Kafkaesque". The swedish author - Kaj Bernh. Genell, who is himself also an author of novels in English and in Swedish - thoroughly explains a determining structural triplicity of a discourse seen as Consciousness. Important in this structure is how Freud, Romantic irony, and Symbolistic Literature simultaneously co-work as a mythical subtext. Kafka did create what would become key parts in the defining of Modern Man. Thus the understanding of Kafka - and of his very strange technique - is the road to understanding Modernity and our Future.
