Reviews of 'A Cage Went in Search of a Bird: Ten Kafkaesque Stories'

Reviews are in for this collection of brand new, specially commissioned short stories inspired by Kafka, written by bestselling and prize-winning authors:

‘This inspired anthology demonstrates the enduring influence of Franz Kafka's fatalistic worldview and mordant humour... These stories will do the trick for the Kafka-curious and diehard fans alike - Publishers Weekly

‘Unsettling and uneasy... brimful of the dark claustrophobia that made Kafka's work so startling and suffocating’ Daily Mail

‘This collection is quite the achievement... both ridiculous and brilliant. Thank goodness it exists. Kafka himself would love it’ i-paper

‘A glorious new collection of short stories inspired by the angst-ridden absurdism of the Czech writer’ Harper's Bazaar

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 stories are mind-bending, funny, unsettling and haunting.

Taking their cue from Kafka’s visionary imagination, each story vividly evokes the strangeness of being alive today.
