Summary:

"Franz Kafka not only wrote prose, he was also passionate about drawing: »Did you know I was once a great drawer,« he wrote about his artistic ambitions, half ironic, half proud, to his fiancée Felice Bauer in 1913. Drawing had at one time »satisfied him more than anything else«. So what could be more appropriate than to honour him on his anniversary with a comic biography? By no other than Nicolas Mahler, whose cultivates drawing style is similarly minimalist?In his inimitably witty and pointed manner, Mahler portrays Kafka's life and work and does not shy away from the big questions: Why did Kafka's plan to write a series of cheap travel guides fail? Who wrote the sequel to one of his most important works, »The Retransformation of Gregor Samsa«? And what was the »white slave« all about? The answers to this and much more can be found in Completely Kafka" -- English translation of publisher's description.
