Letters from Pupé

Fabián Martínez Siccardi

NOVEL. EDELVIVES, 2023. 125 PAGES.

In 1923, the writer Franz Kafka came across a girl in a park in Berlin crying because she'd lost her doll Pupé. In an attempt to console her, Kafka told her that Pupé had gone travelling and over the next few days sent her letters purportedly from the lost doll. The letters were never found but this novel recreates them so we can hear about Pupé's adventures first hand.
