Kafka's Son

Exploring themes of identity and cultural heritage, the story follows a documentary filmmaker who forms a bond with Jiri, an elderly Czech Jew and former head of the Jewish Museum in Prague. Their mutual admiration for Kafka propels the narrator to travel to Prague, where he embarks on a journey to create a film that delves into Jewish life and its connections to Kafka's legacy. Set against the backdrop of 1992 New York City and Prague, the narrative intertwines personal discovery with historical exploration.
