Kafka: A Manga Adaptation

"Nine visionary Kafka stories, among which are The Metamorphosis, A Hunger Artist, In the Penal Colony, The Concerns of a Patriarch, and Jackals and Arabs, explore the literally gnawing and shapeshifting notion of the other. Illustrated in stark black and white panels reminiscent of art deco, Italian futurism, this graphic rendering – realized by a Japanese brother and sister duo known for their meticulous approach, then retranslated into English by a Modern Japanese scholar proficient in German – could have been conjured as a series of fever dreams outside of space and time by Kafka himself."
