“This book dwells with Kafka’s Kurzprosa to elucidate the plastic processes of reading and encourage a deeper understanding of ‘the hold that plastic exerts on us’ … . On Literary Plasticity offers an elegant contribution to German studies and ecocriticism alike. … Yeung’s study offers rich content to kafka scholars searching for new readings of Die sorge des Hausvatersand to critics fascinated by literary plasticity.” (Paul Sutherland Sherban, Modern Language Review, Vol. 117 (2), April, 2022)
