Description: Franz Kafka is one of Austria’s most famous and influential writers. His short prose works have had a tremendous influence on contemporary literature and cultural studies. In this course you will learn what “kafkaesque” means in its complexity. Heinrich von Kleist is less well-known in the US, but he, like Kafka, provides representations of modern bureaucratic nightmares, of blurred boundaries between reality and fantasy, ailing artists, and non-existent or idolized women.  Both authors explore the weird, dreamlike, eerie, and inexplicable nature of the world and life. This course is taught in English. 
Offered: Fall Spring Summer
