Charlie Kaufman Orden de los libros

A collection of brand-new short stories written by prize-winning, bestselling writers and inspired by Kafka - published to commemorate the centenary of his death Chosen as a 2024 highlight in the Guardian, the Financial Times, the Daily Mail, New Statesman, Esquire and the New European Franz Kafka is widely regarded as one of the great geniuses of twentieth-century literature. What happens when some of the most original literary minds of today take an idea, a mood or a line from his work and use it to spark something new?From a future society who ask their AI servants to construct a giant tower to reach God; to a flat hunt that descends into a comically absurd bureaucratic nightmare; to a population experiencing a wave of unbearable, contagious panic attacks, these ten specially commissioned stories are by turns mind-bending, funny, unsettling and haunting. Inspired by the visionary imagination of a writer working one hundred years ago, they speak powerfully to the strangeness of being alive today.

B. Rosenberger Rosenberg, a neurotic and underappreciated film critic, stumbles upon an unseen film by a reclusive outsider, convinced it will transform his career and revolutionize cinema. This three-month-long stop-motion masterpiece, taking ninety years to complete, becomes his mission to share with humanity. However, the film is destroyed, leaving him as the sole witness to its ephemeral genius. With only a single frame remaining, B. embarks on a mind-boggling journey to recall what might be the last great hope of civilization. His quest unfolds within a hilariously nightmarish psyche, as he navigates a Kafkaesque landscape shaped by the relentless noise of social media. Desperate to impose order on his chaotic existence, B. finds himself trapped in a self-imposed prison of victimhood and convoluted language. As he struggles to recreate the lost masterpiece, he grapples with a fracturing culture defined by "likes" and arbitrary denunciations, which are both his bane and his purpose. This narrative serves as a searing indictment of the modern world, offering a richly layered meditation on art, time, memory, identity, comedy, and the essence of existence itself—the grain of truth at the heart of every joke.
