Perhaps the most interesting writer of his generation- a strange and disconcerting genius
Perhaps the most interesting writer of his generation- a strange and disconcerting genius – Edwin Muir
Franz Kafka
Franz Kafka (1883-1924) was born into a Jewish family in Prague. In 1906 he received a doctorate in jurisprudence, and for many years he worked a tedious job as a civil service lawyer investigating claims at the State Worker’s Accident Insurance Institute. He never married, and published only a few slim volumes of stories during his lifetime.
- Meditation, a collection of sketches, appeared in 1912.
- The Stoker: A Fragment in 1913.
- Metamorphosis in 1915.
- The Judgement in 1916.
- In the Penal Colony in 1919.
- A Country Doctor in 1920.
The great novels were not published until after his death from tuberculosis: America, The Trial, and The Castle.
