In 1916, Kafka wrote of "The Sugar Baron," a dime-store colonial adventure story, " it] affects me so deeply that I feel it is about myself, or as if it were the book of rules for my life." John Zilcosky reveals that this perhaps surprising statement -- made by the Prague-bound poet of modern isolation--is part of a network of remarks that exemplify Kafka's ongoing preoccupation with popular travel writing, exoticism, and colonial fantasy. Taking this biographical peculiarity as a starting point, "Kafka's Travels" elegantly re-reads Kafka's major works ("Amerika," "The Trial," "In the Penal Colony," "The Castle") through the lens of fin-de-siecle travel culture. The book offers a lucid, readable introduction into Kafka's life and work, and sophisticated analysis of Kafka's major writings in relation to contemporary literary theory.
