Kafka : Toward a Minor Literature Paperback / softback
by Gilles Deleuze
Part of the Theory and History of Literature series
Paperback / softback
Description
In this classic of critical thought, Deleuze and Guattari challenge conventional interpretations of Kafka’s work.
Instead of exploring preexisting categories or literary genres, they propose a concept of “minor literature”—the use of a major language that subverts it from within.
Writing as a Jew in Prague, they contend, Kafka made German “take flight on a line of escape” and joyfully became a stranger within it.
His work therefore serves as a model for understanding all critical language that must operate within the confines of the dominant language and culture.
