Title
When Kafka Says We: Uncommon Communities in GermanJewish Literature (The Helen and Martin Schwartz Lectures in Jewish Studies),New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Taking as its starting point Franz Kafka's complex relationship to Jews and to communities in general, When Kafka Says We explores the ambivalent responses of major GermanJewish writers to selfenclosed social, religious, ethnic, and ideological groups. Vivian Liska shows that, for Kafka and others, this ambivalence inspired innovative modes of writing which, while unmasking the oppressive cohesion of communal groupings, also configured original and uncommon communities. Interlinked close readings of works by GermanJewish writers such as Kafka, Else LaskerSchler, Nelly Sachs, Paul Celan, Ilse Aichinger, and Robert Schindel illuminate the ways in which literature can subvert, extend, or reconfigure established visions of communities. Liska's rich and astute analysis uncovers provocative attitudes and insights on a subject of continuing controversy.
