Jeff Forts talks about Kafka's Metamorphosis, Friday July 1st

To celebrate the Auroa Theatre's production of David Farr and Gisli Orn Gardarsson's new adaptation of The Metamorphosis we have invited scholar and translator Jeff Fort to discuss Kafka's work. Jeff Fort has a Ph.D. in comparative literature from UC Berkeley--and says that he would have finished much sooner if he hadn't spent so much time browsing at Moe's.  He is an assistant prof. at UC Davis now, in the French department and  has published a study of Kafka, " The Man Who Could Not Disappear " in The Believer.  Jeff is just finishing a book on "the imperative to write" in Kafka, Blanchot, and Beckett.
