Franz Kafka's work and views are often dark and disorienting, and yet they connect with a great many readers. His work provides a paradoxical comfort in its confrontation with the inexplicable discomfort we can often all feel in life .

Mad respect for his friend Max, just for not stealing Kafka's work and claiming it was his

“He is terribly afraid of dying because he hasn’t yet lived.”

"Gregor, of course, cannot do this. He is a bug." The delivery of this line is comedic gold.

So basically Franz Kafka is the Vicent Van Gogh of writing. He died without realizing how important he was.

I want the afterlife to exist just so Kafka can know how appreciated he is

"Kafkas work is not considered great because it describes something profoundly unique but because it describes something mundanely common in a profound way "

Max Brod is the type of friend we all need in life. He could have published Kafka's works under his name but he didn't and went onto becoming truthful and honest to his dead friend by publishing his manuscripts. He's the one who made him alive through his works among us.

Can we take a moment to appreciate what a great friend Max Brod was?

Kafka got a bad rap for being negative, but I believe he was a realist. He was against what we call today “toxic positivity”. To be sad is to be human. In our culture, we promote positivity to the point of being numb and desensitized to any suffering and injustice. That’s what Kafka was trying to portray.

The reason why his work is so profound and compelling is exactly because he didnt write it for an audience. He didn't have to water down his ideas or offer any answers or resolutions to the reader because there wasn't any. The concern for the audience's approval and understanding would've tainted the purity of his ideas

"How many Kafka's have lived and died
without ever sharing their voice with the world; whose voice would have changed it forever. How many people never know who they'll be after they're gone."

Shout out to his friend who loved him so dearly to preserve his work <3

His friend Max is the greatest homie of all time. It would have been so easy to publish that work as his own or follow Kafka’s instruction.

If you guys think Kafka's work was impressive while reading it in Englisch, imagine being able to read it in his Native language. My teacher made us read Metamorphosis as part of my course ( I used to attend a German school) and my teacher literally sobbed on multiple occasions due to his writing, (not just Metamorphosis but also reading chapters of other literary works he had so we can connect the dots between his emotions and how he conveyed them). His writing in all honesty was extremely strong, Honestly no way to describe it other than the said term "Kafkaesque", especially with how he wrote in German, it was a whole new way i experienced that language and how emotions can be conveyed through it.

It's so sad to think about the artists who lived an ordinary life, without ever knowing how their work would be loved, dying with the feeling that their work won't matter, that they have wasted their life...
