My Kafka Century

In My Kafka Century, Arielle Greenberg sounds out the gothic, European bones sealed under the glib facade of contemporary American culture. They make a funky twang, through speakers who preen and plead, sing and seduce, praise and echolocate. Themes of Jewishness and sexuality, childlike wonder and pop erotica rise and fall in turn. But this is Babel, not the melting pot. In this bristling, brainy book, not a bone of language/is neutral—it wags like a broken hound,/ every inch of scruff from some half breed.”Greenberg, Arielle is the author of 'My Kafka Century ', published 2005 under ISBN 9780976569220 and ISBN 0976569221.
