Welcome to the Books of Some Substance (B.O.S.S.) Podcast.

Read the books, take a listen.

Jun 5, 2023

David is joined by Ross Benjamin, translator of Franz Kafka’s Diaries in its most authentic form to date. Listen in as they discuss Benjamin’s start in the field of translation, his love for Kafka’s craftsmanship and humor, and why a new edition of Kafka’s diaries needed to be released.

Benjamin’s translation is available now via Schocken Books and is a must for any Kafka fan (read: the hosts of this podcast).
