Description

Karl Kraus: a satirist and philosopher whose work was ahead of its time. Jonathan Franzen, acclaimed novelist and bestseller, recounts his discovery of Kraus and presents his own translations and annotations of the philosopher's most famous essays. Franzen's extensive footnotes reveal why Kraus remains relevant today, while also shedding light on his own intellectual and personal preoccupations. This collection is a testament to the enduring power of thought-provoking literature. Painstakingly wrought, 'The Kraus Project' offers a unique insight into the life and work of this fascinating figure, whose pioneering critiques of technology and capitalism continue to resonate with readers today.
