“Clever, charming, amusing, and just plain brilliant. Ken Krimstein is the most inventive graphic biographer on the planet-and certainly the only one who could explain both Einstein and Kafka. A page turner on gravity and relativity!” -KAI BIRD, Pulitzer Prize-winning co-author of American Prometheus
From the award-winning New Yorker cartoonist, a graphic narrative revealing the pivotal year in Prague when Einstein became “Einstein,” Franz Kafka became “Kafka,” and the world changed forever.
During the year that Prague was home to both Albert Einstein and Franz Kafka from 1911-1912, the trajectory of the two men's lives wove together in uncanny ways-as did their shared desire to tackle the world's biggest questions in Europe's strangest city. In stunning words and pictures, Einstein in Kafkaland reveals the untold story of how their worlds wove together in a cosmic battle for new kinds of truth.
Ken Krimstein has published cartoons in The New Yorker and The Wall Street Journal. He is the author of The Three Escapes of Hannah Arendt (which won the Bernard J. Brommel Award and was a finalist for the Jewish Book Award) and When I Grow Up (named a Best Book of the Year by NPR). Learn more at: http://www.kenkrimstein.com/
