I tried reading Kafka a couple of times and did not enjoy the experience(s). He is one of many authors that I kept hearing people rave about and expected something other than what I got. On the other hand, I laughed my way through the first half of Hasek's "The Good Soldier Svejk" despite it's crudities and atheism. Go figure.
Since this country is becoming about as ridiculous as the Austro-Hungarian Empire, I may end up playing the idiot like Svejk did.
The guy turning into the giant insect was too much for me!
I love Kafka’s writing.
I read a bit about his background. It seems he had a mother like mine. (that is all I will say on the Mother subject)
Long story short, I understand where Kafka is coming from.
My whole childhood was Kafkaesque.
