Kafka's Travels: Exoticism, Colonialism and the Traffic of Writing
John Zilcosky
This text argues that, perhaps surprisingly, Kafka's uniquely modern metaphorics of alienation emerges out of his complex encounter with the utopian travel discourses of his day. The author thus re-reads Kafka's major works through the lens of fin-de-sielcle travel culture.
