	Amerika (Kafka novel) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Amerika, also known as Der Verschollene or The Man Who Disappeared, was the first and incomplete novel written by Franz Kafka, published posthumously in 1927.
		The novel is more explicitly humorous and slightly more realistic than most of Kafka's works, but it shares the same motifs of an oppressive and intangible system putting the protagonist repeatedly in bizarre situations.
		Amerika has certain similarities with Charles Dickens' David Copperfield (1850), of which Kafka said Amerika is "sheer imitation", and represents a unique interpretation of the Bildungsroman genre.

		Lewat novel inilah Murakami pertama kali dikenal di Amerika setelah edisi berbahasa Inggrisnya terbit pada Oktober 1989.

		Amerika-For the People of Bathgate is painted on the side of C.E.S. 4, overlooking the plaza of the Bathgate Industrial Complex.
		The work is based on Franz Kafka's novel "Amerika." Its imagery is drawn from a passage in the last chapter in which the hero sees hundreds of women dressed as angels and blowing long golden horns.
		In a flyer distributed throughout the school, Rollins asked the school community—teachers, students, parents, and friends—to "show your freedom, your individual voice, your spirit in the form of a golden horn." The individual horn designs collected at the school were adapted and combined by Rollins + KOS to create the final composition.

	Disappearing Act
		Amerika is an anti-Bildungsroman - it follows the disintegration of Karl's identity.
		The novel does become fragmentary, but those fragments are interesting, challenging, poetic, and mysterious - and those are all qualities we're keen to preserve.
		When he began the novel the old civilizations of Europe were in tatters and the First World War was just around the corner.

	Discovering 'Amerika' - The Boston Globe - Boston.com - Theater/Arts - A&E
		Both the novel and the play are replete with transformations, reinventions, and deconstructions of identity.
		In moving ''Amerika" to the stage, Lester says, he has sought to dramatize Karl's displacement and search for identity by surrounding him with confusing characters who morph suddenly into someone else: The actor playing a German woman in one scene, say, becomes a French man in the next.
		So perhaps it's ironic that ''Amerika," for all its connections with his own sense of shifting identity, is pushing him, for once, to stop looking at the work from multiple perspectives and to declare his own point of view.

	Amerika, Schocken, Franz Kafka, Willa Muir, Edwin Muir, E. L. Doctorow
		The result was the novel, Amerika, his unique and often very unrealistic interpretation of life in America.
		Allegedly his characterisation of the country is more akin to the oppressive situation in Prague, but I think you can make an argument that he stumbled on a theme of American culture that isn't often explored, or rather best described by Kafka, the whole idea of claustrophobia within a land of wide open spaces.
		Amerika should stand with his other two novels as monuments to his genius.

		Amerika is said to be Kafka’s most optimistic work, and he even entertained notions of giving it a happy ending, with Karl finding a steady job and reuniting with his parents.
		Amerika is a novel for dreamers, for those who like to pretend that roads stretch into infinity after disappearing beyond the horizon.
		The novel does bring the conflict with the courts to a conclusion, but between its clear beginning and ending, The Trial consists of a series of fragments, which were never satisfactorily organized by its author.

	Fresh off the Boat
		In this Amerika, the Statue of Liberty has a sword in her hand, San Francisco is on the east coast, and a mighty bridge across the Hudson unites the cities of New York and Boston.
		Nevertheless the two worlds of America and Amerika sometimes seem to have grown quite close; we began a developmental workshop for the production the day after George W. Bush claimed his second presidential victory, which added a new context to our reading of Kafka's flights of fancy.
		We see the house from Karl's subjective point of view, and our vision is filtered through his "amazement." Theatre is traditionally an objective medium; everything is on view to the audience all the time, which makes it difficult to frame a scene according to one character's perspective.

		In an interview, the playwright talks about the novel, which Kafka began in 1911 and left unfinished at his death in 1924, in wide-ranging terms of literary influence and affinity.
		In the novel, Karl's uncle (whom he meets when he arrives in New York and who takes him under his wing for a while) is a self-made man, a great shipping magnate who has become a state senator.
		Then there is the so-called Nature Theater of Oklahama in the novel's final section, a utopian enterprise that is a sort of enormous pageant with women dressed as angels standing atop pillars and that offers a job to anyone who applies.

	Amazon.com: Amerika: Books (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Like much of Kafka's work, "Amerika" is uncompleted, and we are left with a potentially intriguing fragment in which Karl, having somehow escaped his state of captivity, gets a job with a roadshow organization called the Theatre of Oklahoma, which promises (but ultimately cheats us out of) further bizarre adventures into the heartland of America.
		Kafka seems to imagine American showmanship as a perverse form of public spectacle; his portrayal of a street parade for the election of a judge, which Karl watches rapturously from Brunelda's balcony, is a narrative tour de force of human chaos.
		Much of this novel is devoted to the this 'disappearance', though the action, to me, never quite moved along...and made the story quite stale to me...

		Even for someone totally unfamiliar with the intriguing conflicts and tribulations of Kafka's haunting personal life, the novel, usually thought to be most enigmatic and paradoxical, has a very revealing surface structure with a dense visual representation of major themes, such as the conflicting lifestyle issues in this work.

		Perhaps the strangest aspect of Franz Kafka’s novel Amerika is that the author never came here, yet in so many ways he struck a mother lode of truth about our culture.
		He made some bloopers, too, among them picturing the Statue of Liberty with a sword rather than a torch in her upraised hand (or was that an eerie premonition?) and setting one end of the Hudson River Bridge in New York and the other in Boston.
		The first thing when you touch a novel is the way the story is being told, more than the story itself.

		This third one is very much an experimental novel, very much affected by my experiences as a kind of breakaway internet artist who has had to deal with all of these issues first-hand and stumble along trying to figure it out.
		Once I'd read his novels, I didn't think I had to try to one-up him, he had really done a lot in that form, and I wanted to do other things in writing.
		The ones who read the more conventional novels, that employ suspension of disbelief and conventional closure, those readers are more likely to be passive, I think.

		Kafka's first and funniest novel, Amerika tells the story of the young immigrant Karl Rossmann who, after an embarrassing sexual misadventure, finds himself "packed off to America" by his parents.
		Here is a startlingly modern, fantastic and visionary tale of America "as a place no one has yet seen, in a historical period that can't be identified", writes E. Doctorow in his new foreword.
		"Kafka made his first novel from his own mind's mythic elements", Doctorow explains, "and the research data that caught his eye were bent like light rays in a field of gravity".

		In a scene where Karl is working at the Hotel Occidental as a lift-operator he describes Kafka's depiction of Rossman at work: "The instinct to over-act the part, to placate almost to the point of buffoonery, is finely observed by Kafka" (74-75).

		Much of Kafka's early writing is lost, but 1912 proved to be a breakthrough year for him as he wrote some of his most important stories, including "The Judgment," "The Metamorphosis," and much of his novel Amerika.
		The letter is a masterpiece, shedding light on every novel and story he had written in which a protagonist struggled with a superior power.
		His three novels, all unfinished, were left in disarray among his manuscripts, with chapters out of order and titles missing; their rough unfinished quality seems only to add to the stunning nervous confusion of his style.
