In a Times of Israel essay, Scott Copeland examines how Franz Kafka's Prague heritage shaped his literary treatment of the uncanny in ordinary life, linking it to the broader Jewish condition.
A Times of Israel opinion piece by Scott Copeland, titled 'Fabulous beasts and winding streets: Prague, Kafka, and the Jewish condition,' explores the connection between Kafka's Prague heritage and his literary treatment of the uncanny, linking it to the broader Jewish condition. The essay reflects on how Kafka inherited the city's tradition of mystery and sharpened it into stories about the uncanny woven into ordinary structures.
