In \u003cem\u003eTransforming Kafka\u003c\/em\u003e, Patrick O'Neill approaches these texts through the method he pioneered in \u003cem\u003ePolyglot Joyce\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eImpossible Joyce\u003c\/em\u003e, considering the many translations of each work as a single, multilingual \"macrotext.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExamining three novels - \u003cem\u003eThe Trial\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe Castle\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eAmerica\u003c\/em\u003e - and two short stories - \"The Judgment\" and \"The Metamorphosis\" - O'Neill offers comparative readings that consider both intertextual and intratextual themes. His innovative approach shows how comparing translations extends and expands the potential meanings of the text and reveals the subtle differences among the hundreds of translations of Kafka's work. A sophisticated analysis of the ways in which translation shapes, rearranges, and expands our understanding of literary works, \u003cem\u003eTransforming Kafka\u003c\/em\u003e is a unique approach to reading the works of a literary giant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patrick O'Neill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1487547617\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781487547615\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.77lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.53d","brand":"Patrick O'Neill","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44123226702079,"sku":"9781487547615","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4b4e26a4-7854-4a29-bc18-7313de44dd23.jpg?v=1687429662","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/transforming-kafka-patrick-oneill-9781487547615","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
