Krátky popis
A great American writer’s confrontation with a great European
critic – a personal and intellectual awakening. A hundred years
ago, the Viennese satirist Karl Kraus was among the most
penetrating and prophetic writers in Europe: a relentless critic of
the popular media’s manipulation of reality, the dehumanizing
machinery of technology and consumerism, and the jingoistic
rhetoric of a fading empire. But even though his followers included
Franz Kafka and Walter Benjamin, he remained something of a lonely
prophet, and few people today are familiar with his work.
Thankfully, Jonathan Franzen is one of them. In ‘The Kraus
Project’, Franzen not only presents and annotates his definitive
new translations of Kraus, with supplementary notes from the Kraus
scholar Paul Reitter and the Austrian writer Daniel Kehlmann. In
Franzen Kraus has found his match: a novelist unafraid to voice
unpopular opinions strongly, a critic capable of untangling Kraus’s
often dense arguments. Painstakingly wrought, strikingly original
in form, ‘The Kraus Project’ is a feast of thought, passion and
literature.
