In groundbreaking readings, she argues that although many readers of Kafka are searching for what his texts mean, in this search we are sorely mistaken. Instead, the problems and illusions we portend to uncover, the im-portant questions we attempt to answer--Is Josef K. guilty? If so, of what? What does Gregor Samsa's transformed body mean? Is Land-Surveyor K. a real land surveyor?-- themselves presuppose a bigger delusion: that such questions can be asked in the first place. Drawing deeply on the entire range of Wittgenstein's writings, Schuman can-nily sheds new light on the enigmatic Kafka. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rebecca Schuman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0810131463\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780810131460\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Northwestern University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.80d","brand":"Rebecca Schuman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065162871039,"sku":"9780810131460","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_533f0744-b9ce-41b4-bdf1-cfe56e576e63.jpg?v=1768673406","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/kafka-and-wittgenstein-rebecca-schuman-9780810131460","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
