Guardian Bookshop Notes:

Hawes seeks to debunk Kafka's image as an angst-ridden paranoid, presenting him as a man about town with a taste for pornography.

Publisher's description:

Kafka's features, and that dreaded word, Kafkaesque, are known to millions who have never read serious literature. Generations of academics and critics have maintained the image of Franz Kafka as a tortured seer whose works defy interpretation. This book intends to reveal the truth that lies beneath the image of a middle-European Nostradamus.
