The study of Kafka has been a respected field of research for many decades, and Gerhard Neumann is the best-known Kafka scholar. The present book documents the findings that have emerged over Neumann s more than forty years of engagement with Kafka s works. By exploring both thematic and editorial relationships, this volume provides two forms of access to one of the most important bodies of work in all of world literature. The author, a co-editor of critical editions of Kafka s works, is able to speak from the perspectives of both a hermeneutist and editor. The present study presents literary scholars with the results of a concentrated reading of Kafka s work, organized according to key thematic concepts: life, writing, anthropology, art, and mediality.
