Kafka's Manuscript TP Vol. 1

Kafka's Manuscript TP Vol. 1 is a striking graphic novel that pays homage to the wordless novels of Frans Maserell and the expressionist art of Franz Kafka. The narrative begins at Kafka's deathbed, where he entrusts his friend Max Brod with the fate of his unpublished works. Brod's refusal to destroy these papers sets the stage for a poignant exploration of Kafka's literary legacy as it escapes the clutches of fascism in Europe. Presented in kinetoscopic monochrome, this volume captures Kafka's complex emotions and paranoia through visual storytelling, offering a fresh perspective on his enduring voice. Created by Jason Novak, this trade paperback is the first in the Kafka's Manuscript series, published by Fantagraphics Underground.
