<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Kuper's electric drawings bring Kafka's prose to vivid life, reviving the original story's humor and poignancy in a way that will surprise and delight readers of Kafka and graphic novels alike.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>A stunning graphic novel adaptation of Franz Kafka's famous story of a man who finds himself transformed into a monstrous cockroach.</b> <p/><b>"Darkly appropriate . . . Kuper's work rivals that of Art Spiegelman."--<i>Chicago Sun-Times</i></b> <p/>Acclaimed graphic artist Peter Kuper presents a brilliant, darkly comic reimagining of Kafka's classic tale of family, alienation, and a giant bug. Kuper's electric drawings--which merge American cartooning with German expressionism--bring Kafka's prose to vivid life, reviving the original story's humor and poignancy in a way that will surprise and delight readers of Kafka and graphic novels alike.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Kafka's stoic Euro-alienation meets and merges with Kuper's thoroughly American rock and roll alienation."<b>--Jules Feiffer</b> <p/> "The ride from book to comic can be bumpy. Mr. Kuper navigates the transition with precision."<b>--<i>The New York Times</i><br></b> <br> "Kafka's anguished archetypal characters are easily rendered into visual equivalents and given new life in Kuper's raw, expressionistic graphic style."<b>--<i>Publishers Weekly</i></b> <p/> "Darkly appropriate . . . Kuper's work rivals that of Art Spiegelman."<b>--<i>Chicago Sun-Times</i><br></b> <br> "Bubbling beneath the surface is a caustic batch of black humor that is as much unsettling as it is absurd. This is the magic of Kafka. And Kuper gives it a postmodern edge here, with an intriguing dance of picture and text."<b>--Gannett News Service</b> <p/> "Kuper's scratchboard style . . . is reminiscent of the German expressionist artists . . . and his cartoony approach accentuates Kafka's dark humor."<b>--<i>Booklist</i></b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Peter Kuper</b>'s work has appeared in <i>Time, Esquire, The New Yorker, </i> and the <i>New York Times, </i> among others. He's the author and illustrator of several books, including <i>Give It Up!</i>, a collection of Kafka stories.
