Profs & Pints Lecture Series: Kafka & Prague
6:30 PM - 8:30 PM

Where we’re from can profoundly shape how we think, what we create, and what we end up doing with our lives. Gain a much deeper understanding of Franz Kafka, the acclaimed and influential author whose prophetic work anticipated European totalitarianism and still shapes dystopian visions, through a talk examining Kafka’s relationship with the city of Prague and those who lived there.
