Kafka, Franz Kafka: The Decisive Years. Reiner Stach. New York: Harcourt, 2005. 581 pp. $35.00.

"One could credit Stach with a bold and interpretative stance if he weren't so aware of having missed the figure of Kafka among all the ruins of his life. Here is a definitive biographer who at least has the odd grace to acknowledge his own predicament."

Marco Roth. NYTBR, Jan. 1, 2006: 10.
