I don't think anyone who knows anything about Kafka sees him as a 'saintly' type. But then, this kind of journalism doesn't typically let reality get in the way

I don't think anyone who knows anything about Kafka sees him as a 'saintly' type. But then, this kind of journalism doesn't typically let reality get in the way of a good story twist.

There was an interesting NYRB article a few weeks ago that said similar things about the myths around Kafka that mostly came from Brod (http://www.nybooks.com/articles/21610 http://www.nybooks.com/articles/21610).
