Where can you listen?

Since his untimely death in 1924, Franz Kafka (b. 1883) has become a global phenomenon. Every generation has discovered ‘its’ Kafka. In this series aimed at students, researchers and the general public, Dame Kristin Scott Thomas reads selected Kafka short stories in English translation, a homage to the popularity of public recitals of literature during Kafka's lifetime. The episodes are recordings of a live recitation in 2024 (the centenary of Kafka’s death) that was organised by the AHRC-funded research project Kafka’s Transformative Communities (University of Oxford) in collaboration with not-for-profit arts organisation Bold Tendencies. Our thanks to Bold Tendencies, the AHRC, Film Shed Media and Dame Kristin Scott Thomas for making this event possible. The event took place on 12 November 2024 in the Holywell Music Room at Wadham College, Oxford, UK.
