stellarsphyr's review against another edition
4.0
While not as good as Kafka, Lethem and Scholz's stories take him into the 21st century -- a time that knows of the Holocaust (something the Jewish Kafka did not live to experience), with a heaping dose of wit and a refreshing Kafkaesque sense of the absurd.
What's missing, or rather what I would have liked, would have been some sort of introduction, epilogue, or statement from the writers. Those unfamiliar with Kafka will not get the same enjoyment out of themes that pop up in more than one story.
Still, worth a read, especially for the Kafka aficionado.
