A son's poignant letter to his father--from the author of The Metamorphosis and The Trial, and one of the most important writers of the twentieth century. Bilingual edition. Franz Kafka wrote this letter to his father, Hermann Kafka, in November 1919. Max Brod, Kafka's literary executor, relates that Kafka actually gave the letter to his mother to hand to his father, hoping it might renew a relationship that had lost itself in tension and frustration on both sides. But Kafka's probing of the deep flaw in their relationship spared neither his father nor himself. He could not help seeing the failure of communication between father and son as another moment in the larger existential predicament depicted in so much of his work. Probably realizing the futility of her son's gesture, Julie Kafka did not deliver the letter but instead returned it to its author. Review "This is the closest we have to Kafka's memoirs, a story of mutual misunderstanding and alienation, charted in a series of evocatively sketched scenes.... For all its power of psychological analysis, the tone is rarely self-pitying but almost forensically detached.... The fact that Kafka nearly always gives his father the benefit of the doubt makes his accusations all the more devastating." --The Times Literary Supplement "Kafka's principal attempt at self-clarification is also one of the great confessions of literature." --The New York Times Book Review About the Author FRANZ KAFKAwas born in Prague in 1883 and died of tuberculosis in a sanatorium near Vienna in 1924. After earning a law degree in 1906, he worked for most of his adult life at the Worker's Accident Insurance Institute in Prague. Only a small portion of Kafka's writings were published during his lifetime. He left instructions for his friend and literary executor Max Brod to destroy all of his unpublished work after his death, instructions Brod famously ignored.
