Kafka kurz und knapp #[nn]

"Golem" is a strikingly rendered, introspective tale from 1995, written by David Zane Mairowitz and illustrated with raw, expressive lines by Robert Crumb—both inks and pencils. Set in the tense atmosphere of pre-World War I Europe, it explores Kafka’s inner life through a meditation on his work, relationships, and the quiet alienation of his daily routine at a insurance agency. The cover, also by Crumb, captures the story’s uneasy, dreamlike tone.
