Beschreibung:

When Kafka Met Einstein is the first full collection from Scottish poet James Knox Whittet. The poems combine the playful and the intellectual, moving easily between Nietzsche and the Teletubbies. Brought up on the island of Islay, some of Knox Whittet's poetry is inspired by the landscapes and history of Scottish islands, while elsewhere he is at Newport Pagnell Service Station at 3am, or writing about Iris Murdoch's Alzheimer's. There is also a poem about the littleknown fact that Hitler attended the same school as Wittgenstein.
