A landmark work in literary memoir, Conversations with Kafka presents a remarkably intimate portrait of Franz Kafka, one of the twentieth century's most enigmatic and influential writers. Gustav Janouch, who met Kafka as a teenager in Prague during the early 1920s, chronicles the wide-ranging discussions the two shared on literature, philosophy, religion, and the nature of existence. Translated from the German by Goronwy Rees and introduced by Hugh Haughton, the text captures Kafka's voice with extraordinary immediacy — his wit, his pessimism, and his profound moral seriousness laid bare in casual dialogue. The result is an indispensable companion to Kafka's fiction, illuminating the man behind The Trial, The Castle, and The Metamorphosis in ways that no biography alone could achieve.
