Franz Kafka's Diaries

Acclaimed actor Josh Hamilton performs a dramatic reading of Franz Kafka’s Diaries, now published in a complete and newly translated edition by Ross Benjamin. A conversation between Benjamin and scholar Veronika Tuckerova will follow the reading.

In a co-presentation between 92NY’s Unterberg Poetry Center and the Vaclav Havel Library Foundation, acclaimed actor Josh Hamilton (The Coast of Utopia, The Walking Dead) performs a dramatic reading of Franz Kafka’s Diaries, now published in a complete and newly translated edition by Ross Benjamin. Dating from 1909 to 1923, the handwritten diaries contain various kinds of writing: accounts of daily events, reflections, observations, literary sketches, drafts of letters, accounts of dreams and finished stories.

The reading takes place in person at the Bohemian National Hall. It will also be live streamed. Tickets to the in-person and online program are available online. The book will be available for purchase.
