In this advanced seminar we will be studying the works of Franz Kafka and their critical reception.

Primary texts studied will include the novels The Trial, The Castle (selections), the novella The Metamorphosis, and the stories The Judgment, A Country Doctor, A Report to an Academy, The Hunter Gracchus, Investigations of a Dog, The Burrow, Josephine, or the Mouse Singer and The Hunger Artist.
