The translators Shelley Frisch, Ross Benjamin, and Susan Bernofsky will discuss Kafka and translation, moderated by scholar Michelle Woods. The panel will address the history of translations of Kafka’s work into English and other languages, specific features of his use of language, his response to translated works as a reader, and their own experiences in their recent translations of “The Metamorphosis,” the Diaries, the Aphorisms, and Reiner Stach’s definitive three-volume biography of Kafka.
