Stanley Corngold is Professor of German and Comparative Literature at Princeton University. His books include "The Fate of the Self", "Franz Kafka: The Necessity of Form", and "Complex Pleasure" as well as two translations of Kafka's "The Metamorphosis" and "Selected Stories".

One of the most compelling and instructive books on Kafka to appear in recent years. -- Choice

Readers of Lambent Traces will find themselves enraptured by Corngold's masterful explication of Kafka writing in ecstasy. This provocative work will constitute an exhilarating reading for literary scholars in general and Kafka scholars in particular. -- David D. Kim, Focus on German Studies

Lambent Traces is a stunning work of literary scholarship and critical thought, a brilliant engagement with one of the towering literary figures of the last century. Corngold is today's master reader of Kafka.
