Instead, Brod devoted his life to championing Kafka’s work, rescuing his legacy from both obscurity and physical destruction. Nearly a century later, an international legal battle erupted to determine which country could claim ownership: the Jewish state, where Kafka dreamed of living, or Germany, where Kafka’s three sisters perished in the Holocaust? Benjamin Balint offers a gripping account of the controversial trial in Israeli courts—brimming with dilemmas legal, ethical, and political—that determined the fate of Kafka’s manuscripts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBenjamin Balint\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eBruno Schulz\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eKafka’s Last Trial\u003c\/i\u003e, awarded the 2020 Sami Rohr Prize for Jewish Literature, and is coauthor of \u003ci\u003eJerusalem: City of the Book\u003c\/i\u003e.
