Kathi Diamant is the author of two biographies, Kafka’s Last Love and Heart of the Zoo and contributed to two anthologies.
Published by Basic Books, 2003
Kathi’s decades-long immersive research into Franz Kafka’s life yielded surprising discoveries about the enigmatic author, and led to the publication in March 2003 of Dora Diamant’s biography, Kafka’s Last Love, which received international critical acclaim. Her book won the Geisel Award, the "Best of the Best" in the San Diego Book Awards. Since the first US publication in 2003 and the UK edition in 2004, Kafka’s Last Love has been published in a dozen editions, including translations in French, German, Spanish, Russian, Chinese, Portuguese, Turkish, Arabic, Albanian, and more.
"Kathi Diamant describes a Franz Kafka far different from a grim, inaccessible genius. 'Kafka's Last Love' illuminates the relationship between the writer and Dora Diamant (no relation to the author), the woman with whom he spent the last year of his life."
– The New York Times Book Review
