Böcker av David Suchoff

Kafka's Jewish Languages shows how Yiddish and modern Hebrew were crucial to Kafka's development as a writer. David Suchoff's examination also demonstrates the intimate relationship between Kafka's Jewish voice and his larger literary significance.

Using the methods of Frankfurt School theorists, Walter Benjamin and Theodor Adorno, Suchoff offers new readings of Dickens, Melville and Kafka that underscore the political and social critiques inherent in their novels. He also studies the historical origins of literary theory.
