K, by Roberto Calasso (small HC, 2005, $3)
"Roberto Calasso sets out not to dispel the mystery but to let it be illuminated by its own light."
I have no idea if this is a book worth reading, but any book that helps us figure out Kafka has got to be an easier read that Kafka. Look for the book on the new non-fiction table, avail. 5/27 (L-Lcrit)
