The Millions, A Most Anticipated Book of Spring
“A Kafkaesque frisson can be felt in [this] wide-ranging Catapult anthology.” —Michael Dirda, The Washington Post
“Surreal, dark, often hilarious, and not unworthy of a volume dedicated to the memory of Franz Kafka.” —Michael Washburn, National Review
“A Cage Went in Search of a Bird meets me in this insatiable desire for the Kafkaesque. The cage is the page that obliges his paradoxical ghosts.” —Alina Ştefănescu, Electric Literature
“Mind-bending and consistently enjoyable . . . A Cage Went in Search of a Bird is a roller coaster ride that will delight the adventuresome reader . . . It’s easy to imagine Kafka paging through these varied and deeply imagined tales and nodding in admiration.” —Harvey Freedenberg, BookPage
“Marking the hundredth anniversary of Franz Kafka’s death, the 10 absurd tales in this multiauthored collection aspire to be Kafkaesque.” —Booklist
“Inspired . . . These stories will do the trick for the Kafka curious and diehard fans alike.” —Publishers Weekly
“A boon for Kafkaheads everywhere.” —John H. Maher, The Millions
“Franz Kafka died in June 1924, at the age of forty, but his fables of absurd transformation, macabre punishments, and human venality are alive and well . . . [The authors] offer narratives of baffling circumscriptions, illnesses, miscommunications, and technologies. But the stories also make space for potentiality, with characters witnessing change or glimpsing future possibilities—putting Kafka’s turn-of-the-century disillusionment into conversation with our own.” —Poets & Writers
