The Unhappiness of Being a Single Man

Praise

Praise for The Unhappiness of Being a Single Man:

‘A welcome distillation of Kafka’s short fiction, essential indeed.’ – Kirkus Reviews

‘The Unhappiness of Being a Single Man nicely makes a case that readers should not forget Kafka’s sly sense of humor and, of course, his humanity, when considering his impact on culture.’ - Noah Cruickshank, Forefront, in Shelf Awareness

Praise for the work of Franz Kafka:

‘The stories are dreamlike, allegorical, symbolic, parabolic, grotesque, ritualistic, nasty, lucent, extremely personal, ghoulishly detached, exquisitely comic, numinous, and prophetic.’ – The New York Times

‘The greatest German writer of our time. Such poets as Rilke or such novelists as Thomas Mann are dwarfs or plastic saints in comparison with him.’ – Vladimir Nabokov

‘A genius.’ – The Guardian

‘[Kafka] spoke for millions in their new unease; a century after his birth, he seems the last holy writer, and the supreme fabulist of modern man’s cosmic predicament.’ – John Updike
