A Hunger Artist — Four Stories

Franz Kafka · Franz Kafka

Kafka's four late stories in the original German, complete in 96 pages — the volume as he assembled it, not a selection made afterwards. Copy-text: Ein Hungerkünstler. Vier Geschichten, Verlag Die Schmiede, Berlin 1924 — the last book Kafka prepared himself. All four stories.

Set in Vollkorn at 13.4pt over 1.9 leading — the most open setting on the shelf, because four short pieces read better with air between them than a novella does. The 1924 book is preferred over the 1922 magazine pre-print on the rule that governs the whole series: the form the author last had his hands on.
