Appraise the Author

Oh Boy it is dusty in this thread.

Kafka, where to start better make it brief otherwise I'll never finish. Took me a while to make something of him. Now that I can (we discussed The Trial at length in class, and I wrote my German A-Level on the protagonist Josef K.), I must say I'm hooked. I would recommend his diary to anyone. His fears in life, appear so real, so human, you can get an inside into who he really was. If anyone could answer that question, and millions have tried, why not Kafka himself.
