...outcome leaves Senegal firmly in the hands of West Africa's most distinguished intellectual and one of its most staunchly pro-French leaders. A Sorbonne-educated, internationally noted poet, the 56-year-old Senghor served in the postwar French Assembly, even sat in the Paris Cabinet (as Secretary of State for Scientific Research) under Premier Edgar Faure. He is also a devout African nationalist and prominent exponent of "négritude''-the concept that sees Africa as the wave of the future.

In the most trenchant and lucid study of Kafka yet written, Poet and German Scholar Heinz Politzer conducts a tireless search into Kafka's style and imagery for clues that tie the emptiness of the heart to the disfigurement of the world outside. In Kafka's dream landscapes and ghostly characters, he finds threads to the commanding theme-man's search for an absolute from which he has become estranged by an impersonal society...
