About the Book

A book of poetry, after motifs by Franz Kafka as recounted by the author. About the Book In the summer of 2016 I received a scholarship by the Franz-Edelmaier-Residenz für Literatur und Menschenrechte in Merano, a health resort in northern Italy. My intention was to complete a recent translation. Although I knew that Franz Kafka had been living in Merano for some months during the spring of 1920, I had not been aware that we could have been actual neighbors - since my apartment was only a few minutes away from the wonderful old villa where Kafka had tried in vain to cure himself of tuberculosis. After a while I forgot about my translation and started to work on Kafka's parables, recounting them, as I thought then, for children and, as I think now, for all readers who might prefer to get in touch with his work in a rather playful way.

About the Author: Stefanie Golisch was born in Germany in 1961. For many years she has been living in Italy as a writer and literary translator. She would like her work to be understood as an exploration of cultural difference and encounter, and - from a larger perspective - as research about sense in an apparently senseless world. Her latest publications include: Anstelle des Mondes, Ludwigsburg 2015 (Pop Verlag) and Postkarten aus Italien, Wien, 2015 (Edizion FZA). Stefanie Golisch is a member of the Pen Centre of German-Speaking Writers Abroad and Writers in Prison.
