Praise for Kafka's Son "From the award-winning author of The Yemenite Girl comes an enigmatic novel about identity and personal reinvention. Kafka's Son is both a moving tribute to Franz Kafka and a story of fate and miracles, gathering events that span nearly a century and that are marked by small wonders and grand deceptions.Narrative twists and the intersection of disparate elements--literary history with mysticism, the Jewish past with family futures--are rendered with skill and intelligence. Kafka's Son is a novel of uncommon beauty, both sharp in its humor and thick with ethical conundrum."-- Jewish Book Council "By following a labyrinthian circuit -- under the sign of Calvino and Perec -- Curt Leviant takes us along the trail of Kafka. Breathtaking! In the dark alleys, we see the ghosts of the past, with a parade of characters so Protean they could have stepped right of "The Metamorphosis." Curt Leviant blends fantasy and literary detection, while constructing a stunning maze. His magic lantern superbly recreates Kafka's now-forgotten Prague, a city that resembles a shadow play theater where everything is possible.

As to whether or not Kafka had an heir, the answer is obvious. His name is Curt Leviant."- LIRE Magazine (France) "The most impressive achievement of Kafka's Son is the way in which Curt Leviant, after opening up a truly awesome number of different trails, manages to bring them all together to give us the overall picture, just like the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle which suddenly seem to fall into place as if by magic. Kafka's Son is a realistic fantasy, a captivating maze, a detective novel, a love story, with multiple layers that never ceases to delight." - Magazine Litteraire (France) "A true literary success. Here Prague reveals itself as a magical, bewitching, mysterious, perplexing city. Kafka's Son is fascinating novel that, once finished, tempts you to take the first plane to Prague carrying a pile of Kafka'sbooks." - Art Press (France).
