Wish something like this would happen to Faulkner.

One of the books on my (shrinking for the first time EVER) stack of books to read is The Complete Kafka. A tough but rewarding read.

It’s been almost a century since he died. Kafka himself wanted his stuff burned. Seems like the intellectual property should be public domain at least.

This is great. With Obama in power we need a Kafka revival.

"Kafka was very critical. He was not an easy man," she said.

Neither are his heirs.

Very sad situation. I would like to read them, however his dying wish was for them to be burned. Maybe the simplest solution is for the court to order just that.

His works have become classics, like The Metamorphosis, in which a salesman wakes up transformed into a giant insect,

Max Bialystock (Reading plot summaries of scripts with the aim of producing an oversubscribed flop)"Gregor Samsa woke up one morning to find he had been transformed into a giant insect." Nahh, too good.

My feelings as well. There is more than enough Kafka in the world already. Kafka is like Mark Twain's descrition of a classic: A book which people praise and don't read.

Excellent, I’m feeling more depressed already! ;’) It would be appropriate if these long-hidden writings had been chewed by insects. Thanks nickcarraway.
