6:00 PM in the Arts Cafe: A Bridge from Brooklyn to Boston?: Kafka Imagining America.How did Franz Kafka, who never traveled outside Europe, come to write a novel set in the United States? Is the Prague-born Kafka, who had American relatives and read critical accounts of this country by European travelers, fashioning a topsy-turvy version of the American dream? To what extent is his vision of America a dark fantasy along the lines of his famous story "The Metamorphosis"?
Mark Harman, translator of Kafka's novel The Castle (Schocken Books/Random House) — which won the Modern Language Association's first Lois Roth Award — recently completed for the same publisher a new translation of Kafka's engaging first novel, Amerika: The Missing Person (pub. date November 18, 2008). The session at Kelly Writers House will include a reading of a short extract and a panel discussion addressing such questions as well as the challenges involved in translating modern classics.
Harman, who has taught a popular course on Kafka, Joyce, and Beckett at Penn, is currently Chair of Modern Languages and Professor of English and German at Elizabethtown College.
