Cost: Free - $10
Benjamin Balint, journalist and fellow at the Van Leer Institute in Jerusalem, will talk and sign his book Kafka's Last Trial: The Case of a Literary Legacy. The story of the international struggle to preserve Kafka’s literary legacy is a lively and balanced account of the international battle, fought in Israeli courts, for Franz Kafka’s manuscripts, letters, and diaries. Well-researched and insightful, this suspenseful work illuminates the complex relationship between literature, religion, culture, and nationality. Refreshments served. Reservations required.
