My favorite Writter of all time






Well, as you can guess by the picture my favorite writter is Franz Kafka. He was born in 1883 in the Austria - Hungary and died in 1924 in Austria. Perhaps the most famous of his writings is "The Metamorphosis", however it is possible to highlight others such as "The process", "The trees", "The way home", "The castle", among many others. In the literary style of kafka it is possible to find elements of existentialism as well as expressionism, as well as a strong critical content as well as psychological analysis (at least from my point of view).

This author is particularly relevant to me because of the theoretical relationship that can be made with the Frankfurt school, based on the critical reading of his texts. So you can make, for example, an analogy between becoming an insect and the alienation that the capitalist system provokes on the human being.



As a curious fact, Kafka always preferred the vegetarian and naturist diet, so he used to drink a lot of unpasteurized milk. However today it is believed that this consumption of milk without pasturizing was what produced the tuberculosis that would end his life in 1924. It is currently considered that Kafka may have had the syndrome of "schizoid personality disorder", which eventually could influence your particular way of reading.

  1. Kafka is great!
    His books leave you thinking for a long time.
    I would like to add that a large part of Kafka's work is influenced by the bad relationship he had with his father.
