A superb new translation by Michael Hofmann of some of Kafka’s most frightening, strange and visionary short fiction After Franz Kafka’s death, in perhaps the most important of all acts of literary disobedience, his executor refused to agree to Kafka’s wish that his great mass of unpublished fiction be destroyed. This fiction included not only The Castle and The Trial but also the amazingly varied, chilling and ingenious short works collected in The Burrow and Other Stories. These tales, some little more than a page, others much more substantial, are among the greatest works of Central European literature. They vary from the tiny and horrifying ‘Little Fable’ to the elaborate waking nightmares of ‘Building the Great Wall of China’ and the title story ‘The Burrow’, where an unidentified creature describes its creation of an endlessly elaborate burrow to protect itself from unidentified enemies, but with every trap or tunnel only creating further terrors and uncertainty.
