Abstract:The present article provides an intertextual reading of the international success by Johnatan Franzen, The Kraus-Projekt (2013), translated into German by Bettina Abarbanell and entitled Das Kraus Projekt. Aufsätze von Karl Kraus mit Anmerkungen von Jonathan Franzen (2014).
In the light of a transdisciplinary reconstruction, the article discusses the intent of Jonathan Franzen to connect biographical, historical, artistic and cultural events related to the Austrian author Karl Kraus with the contemporary media world, especially that of the United States.Such a crossed and multiple perspective highlights all those postmodern elements of the writer which confer meaningful connections on themes and biographical elements present in Franzen’s work, and represents a chance to reflect upon our contemporary media world, by analyzing the Habsburg empire at the time of Kraus.
Key words:Jonathan Franzen, Karl Kraus, postmodern literature, massmedia, cyberworld
