GropmanGropman read from his novel-in-progress TRAVELS WITH FRANNY: A True & Faithful Account of Our Road Trip with Franz Kafka, a work of fiction in which Franz Kafka is reimagined as a character named Franny. To paraphrase Marianne Moore, the author aims to present an imaginary toad in real gardens.
