As a Jew, Kafka received nothing in inheritance from his father. Nevertheless, throughout his , subtly, remnants of Jewish words can be deciphered. Hence, the question at the heart of this book: what remains when what’s left is a "nothing of Judaism" (Letter to the Father)? This question necessitates a philosophical and Jewish reading of his work, prompting a reconsideration of the intricate relationships between the Jew and the West and the Jew and modernity. Thus, this book proposes an examination of Kafka's to uncover what remains Jewish therein – at the heart of Europe, amidst modernity – where nothing remains: the enigma of the Letter.
