Louis Begley receives rave review in New York Observer
June 23, 2008
Louis Begley's The Tremendous World I Have Inside My Head: Franz Kafka—A Biographical Essay received a rave review in the June 23, 2008, issue of the New York Observer.
“[A] study as lively, lucid and flat-out enjoyable as any literary biography this year. . . . Never before has Kafka seemed endearing; never before has he even seemed appreciably human. Mr. Begley’s triumph is to revive the man beneath the iconography, and to present afresh for a 21st-century audience that maddening, addled soul in all its twitchy glory.”
