'Perhaps the most revealing essay on Kafka ever published'The Times Literary SupplementIn July 1914, Franz Kafka's fiancée Felice broke off their engagement in a humiliating public tribunal, surrounded by her friends and family, and the other woman with whom Kafka had recently fallen in love. Broken and bereft, Kafka - at the height of his writing powers - turned the experience into his masterpiece, The Trial, where his lovers became the faceless prosecutors of Josef K. In Kafka's Other Trial, Canetti explores each letter that Kafka wrote to his fiancée, from their first tender moments together to his final letter and his refusal to reconcile.In this affecting book, he offers moving insights into the creativity of Franz Kafka and the torment he suffered as a man, a lover, and a writer.Winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature

A thoroughly enjoyable read and look into the secret life of Franz Kafka. His inspiration for The Metamorphosis and The Trial among others. The study was so well-written that I now have ordered the only novel by Canetti.
