Carolin Duttlinger

Carolin Duttlinger has worked on Kafka on and off for over two decades. Her initial route into his work was via his ambivalent fascination with photography. She has since explored other aspects, such as Kafka's interest in the interplay between attention and distraction, and his deep concern with the notion of community. Her books include Kafka and Photography (OUP 2007); The Cambridge Introduction to Franz Kafka (CUP 2013); Kafkas 'Betrachtung': Neue Lektüren (Rombach 2014); Franz Kafka in Context (CUP 2017); and Attention and Distraction in Modern German Literature, Thought and Culture (OUP 2022).
