Written during the winter of 1916-17 when Kafka was residing in one of the small houses on Golden Lane (formerly Alchimistengasse) at Prague Castle, and published by Kurt Wolff Verlag in spring 1920, this collection features 14 short fictions interconnected through a relentless examination of identity. Even animals take on new identities within these stories. Among the notable works included are “Before the Law,” “A Country Doctor,” and “A Report for an Academy.” Kevin Blahut’s translation brings Kafka’s prose into contemporary English, preserving its nightmarish humor with perfect fidelity.
