The uncanny animatedness, that which strikes us in Kafka's prose even before we are enraptured by its depths, lives everywhere in the evidence of his hand. It lives in his cursive script, in these faces and bodies and windswept horses, in these self-portraits we encounter having somehow always known he was there, staring into us, waiting to be seen. -Jonathan Lethem, author of The Fortress of Solitude An important and original book. Informative and perceptive, it illuminates a side of Kafka that has hitherto scarcely been known. -Ritchie Robertson, author of Kafka: A Very Short Introduction Kafka, this absorbing book shows, was both artist and art-lover: inspired by Asian art, he explored line in defiance of gravity, drawing as a counterpoint to script. An intriguing volume, with Butler's essay as the highlight. -Katie Trumpener, Yale University
