Kafka: Toward a Minor Literature (Volume 30) (Theory and History of Literature)

In this classic of critical thought, Deleuze and Guattari challenge conventional interpretations of Kafkaâ€™s work. Instead of exploring preexisting categories or literary genres, they propose a concept of â€œminor literatureâ€â€”the use of a major language that subverts it from within. Writing as a Jew in Prague, they contend, Kafka made German â€œtake flight on a line of escapeâ€ and joyfully became a stranger within it. His work therefore serves as a model for understanding all critical language that must operate within the confines of the dominant language and culture.
