anyone feel an eastern european oppressive brown-gray stone communist vibe reading kafka?
- dredmorbius 4y agoKafka's dates were 1883--1924. His experience and writing were all but entirely pre-communist, and certainly didn't reflect post-WWII Soviet Bloc eastern European experience. Rather more Austro-Hungarian / Habsburg Empire. <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franz_Kafka https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franz_Kafka> <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franz_Joseph_I_of_Austria https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franz_Joseph_I_of_Austria>
