Faithfully seeking Franz

Wolff, Elana, author.

Book 2023

"Faithfully Seeking Franz is an irregular quest for Prague modernist author Franz Kafka--in places he lived, worked, vacationed and convalesced, and in the astonishing body of work he left. The search for the man inside the writer is both a shadowy personal journey and an eccentric venture of two in the field: E. and M. in pursuit of K., curiously archived in photos, poems and creative nonfictional texts."-- Provided by publisher.
