In this classic of critical thought, Deleuze and Guattari challenge conventional interpretations of Kafka’s work.

Instead of exploring preexisting categories or literary genres, they propose a concept of “minor literature”—the use of a major language that subverts it from within.

Writing as a Jew in Prague, they contend, Kafka made German “take flight on a line of escape” 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.
