A new series of podcasts, Twelve Conversations on Kafka, has been launched, featuring Karen Leeder, academics in the Kafka's Transformative Communities project, and colleagues from across the University.
The series explores approaches to Kafka and his most famous story 'The Metamorphosis': how the text has itself been transformed into new forms like ballet, theatre and comic books; how Kafka’s work has been read, from ecological insights to questions of illness, humour, feminism or race; how writers from across the world have responded to him from J. M. Coetzee to the 'Brazilian Kafka' Clarice Lispector or Marie NDiaye; and finally how artists have 'written back' to Kafka from their own time and place from the Czech Republic, Spain or even a viral Facebook novel in Russia.
You can listen to the podcasts here on University Podcasts or on Apple Podcasts.
A reading list associated with this series is available on ORLO.
