Cockroach porn? Just kidding... I found that for myself, Kafka is best in small doses. When I read a lot at one time, I found myself laughing at the absurdity and wondering why Kafka didn't "get a life".
- gruseom 18y agoI found myself laughing at the absurdity There's a famous story of Kafka reading his stuff to friends and laughing so hard that he couldn't continue. It seems he was more a comic writer than people think, and your reaction might not be so far off. It's fascinating how creations come to be inseparable from the filters (e.g., Kafka as prophet of modernist despair) built up by others after the fact.
