Exploring a distinct but unexamined Kafkan tradition in modern Italian literature, the book both brings Italian literary works into larger debates in which and reorients the critical view of the Italian literary landscape. This book calls attention to the way Kafkan themes, narrative strategies, and formal experimentation appear in a range of Italian authors. Offering new perspectives on familiar figures, such as Italo Calvino, Italo Svevo, and Elena Ferrante, it also sheds light on some less well-known authors, including Tommaso Landolfi, Paola Capriolo, and Lalla Romano. Using diverse approaches to explore thematic, generic, historical, and cultural connections between Kafka's works and those of Italian authors, the chapters argue for a new view of Italian literature that includes talking animals, parental bonds, modernist realism, literary detective novels, and lyrical microfiction. Whereas Kafka has been mobilized in discourses on minor and world literature, this book investigates the particular nature of the Italian reception of Kafka to reveal the richness and variety of modern Italian literature."--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aToronto Italian studies. 606 $aItalian literature$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 608 $aCriticism, interpretation, etc. 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aElena Ferrante. 610 $aElsa Morante. 610 $aItalian literature. 610 $aItalian studies. 610 $aItalo Calvino. 610 $aItalo Svevo. 610 $aKafka. 610 $aLalla Romano. 610 $aPaola Capriolo. 610 $aTommaso Landolfi. 610 $acomparative literature. 610 $aliterary history. 610 $aworld literature. 615 0$aItalian literature$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a850.90091 700 $aZiolkowski$b Saskia Elizabeth, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01577267 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910793947003321 996 $aKafka's Italian Progeny$93855734 997 $aUNINA
