THE KRAUS PROJECT
FRANZEN, JONATHAN
A hundred years ago, the writings of Viennese satirist Karl Krauswere among the most penetrating and
prophetic in Europe: arelentless criticism of the popular media’s manipulation of reality, the dehumanizing
machinery of technology and consumerism, and the jingoistic rhetoric of a fading empire. But even though
Kraus’s followers included Franz Kafka and Walter Benjamin, he remained something of alonely prophet,
and few people today are familiar with his work. Thankfully, Jonathan Franzen is one of them. In The
Kraus Project, Franzen not only presents his definitive new translations of Kraus but annotates them
spectacularly, with supplementary notes from the Kraus scholar Paul Reitter and the Austrian writer
Daniel Kehlmann. Kraus was a notoriously cantankerous and difficult author, and in Franzen he has found
his match: a novelist unafraid to voice unpopular opinions strongly, and a critic capable of untangling
Kraus’s often dense arguments to reveal their relevance to contemporary America.
