When Kafka Says We – Uncommon Communities in German–Jewish Literature Liska
When Kafka Says WeUncommon Communities in German-Jewish Literature\nAuthor(s): Vivian Liska\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Indiana University Press, United States\nImprint: Indiana University Press\nISBN-13: 9780253353085, 978-0253353085\nSynopsis\nTaking as its starting point Franz Kafka's complex relationship to Jews and to communities in general, When Kafka Says We explores the ambivalent responses of major German-Jewish writers to self-enclosed social, religious, ethnic, and ideological groups. Vivian Liska shows that, for Kafka and others, this ambivalence inspired innovative modes of writing which, while unmasking the oppressive cohesion of communal groupings, also configured original and uncommon communities. Interlinked close readings of works by German-Jewish writers such as Kafka, Else Lasker-Schler, Nelly Sachs, Paul Celan, Ilse Aichinger, and Robert Schindel illuminate the ways in which literature can subvert, extend, or reconfigure established visions of communities.
