What would you do if, in the middle of your most ordinary, paper-shuffling day, Franz Kafka himself walked through your office door?

Alive. Chatty. Ready to talk about literature, mortality, and whether life after death is just another form of bureaucracy.

Franz K. and I is a novel where the mundane slowly mutates into the surreal, and the absurd takes you by the hand. In the spirit of Olga Tokarczuk and the sly humor of Milan Kundera, this is a story of sharp philosophical banter, dreamlike episodes, and unexpected tenderness.

Follow the narrator through cafés that never close, conversations that loop back on themselves, and Belgrade, a reckless and unpredictable city that shifts its shape at night. With Kafka as both guide and enigma, is the novel perfect for readers who like to explore the dangerous magic of literature - and the uncomfortable truth that nothing, not even death, is truly final.

Darkly funny, thought-provoking, and impossible to forget, Franz K. and this is for readers who like their fiction strange, smart, and just a little bit dangerous.

Jelena Gavrilovic writes fiction that wanders the borders between reality and dream, blending absurd humor with moments of piercing insight. Inspired by magical realism, European literary tradition, and the sly charm of the surreal, she creates worlds where the unexpected feels inevitable - and every word invites you deeper in. Franz K. and I is her most daring novel yet.
