Description
Working through Kafka would seem to be an irresistible temptation or maybe even a rite of passage for every kind of writer. You can trace the tradition through the archives of the London Review of Books, and the chain of contributors who have used his hands in its pages, over the years: Alan Bennett, Judith Butler, Amit Chaudhuri, Rivka Galchen, Nadine Gordimer, Anne Hollander, Gabriel Josipovici, Adam Phillips, Philip Roth, Michael Wood and, translating the man himself, Michael Hofmann - among many others.
To mark the centenary of his death, the LRB invites you to spend 2024 thinking about Kafka in the company of some of the most original writers of our time, with a dazzling thought or pellucid observation for each new week of the year - and plenty of space to record your own plans on the facing pages.
In addition to a host of useful features you may also stumble upon an occasional entry by Kafka himself, to encourage concise diary-keeping: '2 August. Germany has declared war on Russia. Swimming in the afternoon.'

About the Author
About the LRB Diary
Reinventing itself with a completely new theme and original artwork each year, and charged with the same irreverent and elegant spirit as the magazine, the LRB Diary (not to be confused with the column that appears in each issue) has become a must-have stationary status symbol for passionate readers in the UK and beyond. Last year's marked 40 years of Alan Bennett's annual Christmas diary for the LRB, with illustrations by the comic book artist Jon McNaught.
