Review of "R. Crumb's Kafka" on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Fantastic graphic-biography of Kafka and his major works. Knowing so much more about him has added new light to how I had read his stories, and this (or any Kafka biography) may have been a good idea before reading the amazing book "Kafka's Son" by Curt Leviant.

I'd easily recommend this book for fans of Kafka and newcomers alike.
