{"product_id":"9781550718683","title":"A Hunger Artist \u0026 Other Stories; Poems and Songs of Love","description":"Franz Kafka's writings are characterized by an extreme sensitivity manifested in absurdity, alienation, and gallows humor. These two particular collections of short pieces, A Country Doctor (1919) and A Hunger Artist (1924), newly translated by Thor Polson, represent later works in the corpus. Poems and Songs of Love is a translation of the collection Piyyutim ve-Shirei Yedidot by Georg Mordechai Langer. Published in Prague in 1929, it contains an elegy to Langer's friend and mentor Franz Kafka, and other openly homo-romantic poems. This collaborative translation by Elana and Menachem Wolff brings the fascinating work of Langer--poems as well as an essay on Kafka--to the English-reading public for the first time, and sheds light on a hitherto unexamined relationship.","brand":"Guernica Editions, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47146049339632,"sku":"9781550718683","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781550718683_p0.jpg?v=1769898881","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781550718683","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
