For me, the most interesting aspect of this work is brought up in the translator's afterword. Here are short stories originally written in German by Franz Kafka that were translated into Japanese text by Osamu Ikeuchi, then adapted into graphic novel format by Nishioka Kyodai -- the pen name of a brother and sister creative team: writing lead Satoshi Nishioka and illustrating lead Chiaki Nishioka -- and now are being translated again into English by David Yang. The ultimate game of Telephone! Yang translates both German and Japanese, so he worked to come up with a melding of Kafka's original text and the sentiments expressed by the Nishioka duo. If I didn't care so little about the stories, I'd be inclined to dig into a comparison of another English translation of the works (alas, my college German was never that good and largely forgotten now) and what ends up on the page here.
