Mark Harman gained public recognition for his 1998 translation of Franz Kafka's The Castle, for which he won the Lois Roth Award of the Modern Language Association. Professor Emeritus of German and English at Elizabethtown College, he has translated some of modern literature’s greatest works, including Franz Kafka’s Amerika: The Missing Person, Herman Hesse’s Soul of the Age: Selected Letters, and Rainer Maria Rilke’s Letters to a Young Poet. He has also published an extensive body of work about modern German and Irish literature in publications such as the Times Literary Supplement, New England Review, Sewanee Review, Los Angeles Times, and The Washington Post. A Dublin native, Harman formerly taught at the University of Pennsylvania, Dartmouth, Oberlin, and Franklin & Marshall.  With a detailed biographical introduction to the mythologized yet misunderstood Bohemian writer on the centenary of his death, Kafka is a chronologically arranged, illustrated, and contextualized collection of the author’s stories translated in Harman’s trademark erudite, yet sensitive, fashion.
