Introducing Kafka
Introducing Kafka, also known as Kafka for Beginners, is an illustrated biography of Franz Kafka by David Zane Mairowitz and Robert Crumb. The book includes comic adaptations of some of Kafka's most famous works including The Metamorphosis, A Hunger Artist, In the Penal Colony, and The Judgment, as well as brief sketches of his three novels The Trial, The Castle, and Amerika, but also details Kafka's biography in a mixture of an illustrated essay and episodes presented in sequential comic panels. The book was released as part of the "Introducing..." series by Totem Books. The popularity of Crumb's renditions of Kafka's works led to additional printings under the title R. Crumb's Kafka.
