Kafka in Bronteland and Other Stories

by Tamar Yellin

Kafka in Bronteland and Other Stories Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Thirteen stories by the author of the critically acclaimed The Genizah at the House of Shepher address universal themes of yearning and displacement, love, loss and the struggle to belong. A latter-day Jewish Odysseus spends his life planning an intricate journey to the Promised Land, while an English father stranded in London mourns for his faraway Italian son. A man without a past searches the world for potential relatives, while in the title story, a Jew and a Muslim cast adrift in a Yorkshire landscape find momentary sisterhood over a copy of the Koran. Blending irony with pathos, the mythical with the mundane, Kafka in Bront?land gives voice to a rich mix of characters living outside traditional patterns of identity in a world of com- plex migrations and tumultuous change.
