      A collection of brand-new short stories written by prize-winning, bestselling writers and inspired by Kafka - published to commemorate the centenary of his death Chosen as a 2024 highlight in the Guardian, the Financial Times, the Daily Mail, New Statesman, Esquire and the New European Franz Kafka is widely regarded as one of the great geniuses of twentieth-century literature. What happens when some of the most original literary minds of today take an idea, a mood or a line from his work and use it to spark something new?From a future society who ask their AI servants to construct a giant tower to reach God; to a flat hunt that descends into a comically absurd bureaucratic nightmare; to a population experiencing a wave of unbearable, contagious panic attacks, these ten specially commissioned stories are by turns mind-bending, funny, unsettling and haunting. Inspired by the visionary imagination of a writer working one hundred years ago, they speak powerfully to the strangeness of being alive today.

      „Kompromisslos, trostlos und zerstörerisch, aber dennoch wunderbar.“ (Los Angeles Review of Books) – Der erste Roman des Oscar-Preisträgers Charlie Kaufman Das Drehbuch zu „Being John Malkovich“ hat Charlie Kaufman weltberühmt gemacht. Der erste Roman des Oscar-Preisträgers ist ein neuer Meilenstein der amerikanischen Literatur: B. Rosenberg kriegt nichts auf die Reihe, außer Kritiken zu schreiben, die keiner liest. Der New Yorker Stadtneurotiker prahlt mit der schwarzen Hautfarbe seiner Freundin und wehrt sich gegen die Unterstellung, er sei Jude. Nicht einmal ein Geschlecht will er haben und nennt sich einfach nur B. Dann jedoch stößt er auf den längsten jemals gedrehten Film und hat eine Mission: Er möchte den ungesehenen Film der Welt zeigen. Doch das Meisterwerk geht in Flammen auf, und B. kann es nur nachträumen. Ein unendlicher Spaß, der jeden Rahmen sprengt.
