Kafka's Prague

Presented in association with the Bodleian Libraries and the Oxford Kafka Research Centre

2024 marks the centenary of the death of the Czech author Franz Kafka, one of the towering literary figures of the 20th century. Across Oxford the anniversary will be celebrated in a wide-ranging series of cultural and academic events entitled Kafka’s Transformative Communities. Carolin Duttlinger is a leading expert on Kafka and co-director of this series, and she joins in conversation with Philip Ross Bullock to explore Kafka’s Prague – an important hub for music and poetry – and the author’s connections to the music world, not least through his friend and publisher Max Brod.
