Falmouth Jewish Congregation and the Worcester JCC invite you to a virtual Jewish Book Council author talk with Kenneth Krimstein, author of “Einstein in Kafkaland: How Albert Fell Down the Rabbit Hole and Came Up with the Universe.”
From the award-winning New Yorker cartoonist, a graphic narrative revealing the pivotal year in Prague when Einstein became “Einstein,” Franz Kafka became “Kafka,” and the world changed forever.
“A brilliant graphic narrative revealing the pivotal year (1911-1912) that Prague was home to both Albert Einstein and Franz Kafka, the trajectory of the two men’s lives wove together in uncanny ways—as did their shared desire to tackle the world’s biggest questions in Europe’s strangest city. Tying the literary, scientific, and geographic centers of the world together for a single year, ‘Einstein in Kafkaland’ tells an untold story of two of the modern era’s defining figures, each brought to vivid life with stunning artwork in Krimstein’s signature style, as they battle God for truth in a cosmic universe against the backdrop of Prague’s intricacies and mysteries.”
—From the publisher
“Clever, charming, amusing, and just plain brilliant. Ken Krimstein is the most inventive graphic biographer on the planet, and certainly the only one who could explain both Einstein and Kafka. A page turner on gravity and relativity!”
—Kai Bird, Pulitzer Prize-winning co-author of “American Prometheus”
Ken Krimstein has published cartoons in The New Yorker and The Wall Street Journal. He is the author of “The Three Escapes of Hannah Arendt” (which won the Bernard J. Brommel Award and was a finalist for the Jewish Book Award) and “When I Grow Up” (named a Best Book of the Year by NPR).
