eh, most of kafka's stories were meant as conversation pieces at high-society parties to chuckle at, although I do agree that his insights into human nature are quite profound.
Since when have you been such a bookworm? I do wish you would have told me this earlier.
dont get me started on kafka he is one of my favorite authors..... you know they were actually MEANT to be profound, not to be "chuckled at", and people who did were idiots. hah since when? since forever. when everyone else was reading picture books, i was reading catcher in the rye. obviously you dont know me as well as you think.
I'm not saying they're profound, nor am I saying the profoundness was accidental, but he didn't toil away endlessly at his works like other writers did.
He just had a knack for writing interesting works - it's far more evident in his short stories, most have a beginning, a philosophical middle, and no end... no real structure, but they were never meant to - much of his work was never meant to see the light of day, he left instructions for his publisher to destroy all of the works he had after his death, which the publisher refused to do.
Granted, it was quite a pleasant surprise to hear you reading Kafka - I like it when I can't read someone entirely. What else are you hiding from me? Hmm? ;)
