The exhibition presents three Kafka graphic novels by American comic and audio book author David Zane Mairowitz. In 1992 he collaborated with American cult cartoonist Robert Crumb on the production of Introducing Kafka, which quickly became a classic. Together with French graphic artist Chantal Montpellier the publication of The Trial followed in 2008. Last year Mairowitz teamed up with Czech illustrator and musician Jaromír 99 for the adaptation of Kafka’s novel The Castle. Find out more about the exhibition and accompanying events here.
