Kafka's nonhuman form : troubling the boundaries of the Kafkaesque / Ted Geier. - 1 volume : illustration (colour) ; 21 cm. - Palgrave studies in animals and literature . - Palgrave studies in animals and literature. .

This volume is a compact study of Kafka's inimitable literary style, animals, and ecological thought - his nonhuman form - that proceeds through original close readings of Kafka's oeuvre. With select engagements of Adorno, Derrida, and the literary heritage from Romanticism to Dickens that influenced Kafka, Ted Geier discusses Kafka's literary, 'nonhuman' form and the way it unsettles the notion of a natural and simple existence that society and culture impose, including the boundaries between human and animal.
