Interview with Frederick Karl
|
| In this 1991 interview, Frederick Karl discusses his biography of Franz Kafka called Franz Kafka: Representative Man. Karl also discusses Kafka's life growing up in Prague, receiving a law degree and working for an insurance company where he investigated individuals with constant disasters. Kafka is one of the few authors to have given his name to a word, Kafkaesque, which means surreal distortion, or as Karl tells Don, a force in the world that is antipathetic of individual.
