The Oxford Kafka Research Centre and the German Sub-Faculty at the University of Oxford invite you to a podium discussion:
Bringing Kafka's "Castle" to Life
With Carolin Duttlinger, Ed Harris, Katrin Kohl, Barry Murnane, Roland Reuß, and Ritchie Robertson
5.00-6.30pm, Friday June 1st 2018, St John's College Auditorium. St John's College, St Giles', Oxford OX1 3JP.
Although unfinished, Kafka's final novel project "Das Schloss"/"The Castle" has become a classic in the canon of world literature. This is thanks in large part to the fragment's various editors and critics, who have sought to bring Kafka's mind-boggling survey of a countryside bureaucracy to life, beginning with Max Brod's seminal edition of 1926.
To mark publication of the new critical edition of "Das Schloss"/"The Castle" this podium event will discuss the legacy of the novel, bringing Kafka to new audiences, and Oxford's position on the global map of Kafka Studies. Carolin Duttlinger, Katrin Kohl, Barry Murnane, and Ritchie Robertson of the Oxford Kafka Research Centre will be joined by Roland Reuß, co-editor of the Historical-Critical Kafka Edition, and award-winning playwright Ed Harris, who recently adapted Kafka's novel for BBC Radio 4.
The event will be followed by a drinks reception in the Garden Quod to celebrate publication of Franz Kafka in Context, ed. Carolin Duttlinger (Cambridge UP 2018). All very welcome.
The event is generously supported by the Faculty of Medieval and Modern Languages, University of Oxford, and by the Ingeborg Bachmann Centre for Austrian Literature and Culture.
