Kafka in New York

Translating Kafka: A Roundtable

The translators Susan Bernofsky, Ross Benjamin, and Shelley Frisch will discuss Kafka and translation, moderated by scholar Michelle Woods. The panel will address the history of translations of Kafka’s work into English and other languages, specific features of his use of language, his response to translated works as a reader, and their own experiences in their recent translations of “The Metamorphosis,” the Diaries, the Aphorisms, and Reiner Stach’s definitive three-volume biography of Kafka.

This symposium is organized and co-sponsored by the Morgan Library & Museum, the Center for the Humanities at the CUNY Graduate Center, the Goethe-Institut, and SUNY New Paltz
