"but was betrayed by his executor of will." That was no betrayal. Because Brod told Kafka before, that he will refuse this last wish to burn everything, and instead publish it all, should he be tasked with it.

If Kafka really would have wanted to burn it all his works - he could have a) do it himself b) ask someone who would not outright refuse
