KAFKACOETZEE

There are obvious links between the state of civil anomie through which South Africa is passing in Michael K and the nightmarish world ofThe Castle. (101)

David Attwell in South Africa and the Politics of Writing

Das Schloss - The Castle

Der Bau – The burrow

Der Hungerkünstler - A Hunger Artist

Not eating in the face of food availability marks food refusal as subversion and situates starvation as both an affront to and a withdrawal from dominant ideological audience. (110)

Laura Wright in “Minor Literature and the Skeleton of Sense: Anorexia, Franz Kafka´s A Hunger Artist and J.M. Coetzee´s Life and Opinions of Michael K”.

Michael K is compared to an insect, a termite, an ant, a snail, a parasite and an insect.

Die Umwandlung - The Metamorphosis

Animal rights
