Wovon man nicht schweigen kann, darüber muss man sprechen.

This seems quite interesting. I took a course on Kafka in college, but the prof never really went into his background and treated all his works as standalone. I think this might be rather insightful as to why Kafka wrote as he did. It is very interesting. I was thinking of The Trial when I read this. Sounds like his father criticizing him for everything. Some dark powerful force against which you cannot do anything. I think it helps you understand his work much better when you read this.

Bestselling Series

I know so little about Kafka the person. I think it really helps understand him better and it is short.

I hope the translation is really good. Judging from the title I would rather choose an older one.

I received the book you show in your post just last week! I hope to get to it myself in the next week or two. And there is a lot of pain in it.

Shame really but there you go. They have a lot in common. I should read this, it seems fascinating. I agree with you about the English title. How was his mother? A frightened little mouse living with a ogre? I have also read Letters to Milena and her biography by Margaret Buber-Neumann and a collection of her essays Vivre, published by She was bright and full of life.

Have you seen the film Kafka by Soderbergh? I remember it was good. The Germans were used to obey. I should probably re-read the short stories and read The castle. The letter is invaluable to understand him better. I read an excellent biography of Milena Jesenska as well. She was an astonishing woman and cheered up people until the very end. Those who survived had fond memories of her. Thanks for mentioning it, I might try and watch it.

Wie kann man unter Zwang seine dringende Briefe an die Freundin schreiben? Write end to Castle re: Edit dadistic poem "Letter to the Fiber"—current typo reads "Father" and that could cause catastrophic misunderstanding, as Father and I are besties.

Letter to the Father/Brief an den Vater

Speaking of which, here is my exchange of grievances with my homeland, Eugene, Oregon: Is sunlight for fatties or something? Oregon seems to have taken the energy-saving thing to the ultimate extreme and is refusing any and all sunlight for all I can tell.

Franz Kafka - "Brief an den Vater" - musikalisch-rednerische Aufarbeitung

This morning I woke up in pitch dark, thinking, "Meh, this cold I have is waking me up in the middle of the night and I am sad about it," and I looked at my clock and it was 8: Is there some sort of prerequsite for writing a letter to the editor of the local paper? Yes, obviously, everyone who does this is a crank, but usually a run-of-the-mill crank and not a total bigot.
