If Kafka wasn't a Jew he wouldn't be remembered. Absolute fucking garbage writing. He was right about wanting to burn it. I've pained myself through The Trial, Judgement, and Metamorphosis, and they all have been fucking horrible to read. Ugly, depressing filth.
>That's the point!!!
Pseud cope. Same kikery that gave rise to modern art.

I‘m convinced that German has a reputation as a clunky, ugly language only good for obtuse chains and over-literal etymology because its most prominent emissary to the outside world is this little kike faggot.

I read Die Verwandlung in German, and while the contents may be depressing, it's a delight to read.

I read Die Verwandlung and Der Prozeß in German and though I did the first too early in my learning process to make any aesthetic judgements the latter was by far the worst German prose I have ever experienced.

He was so beautiful but he looks ridiculous in European clothes. If I were alive back then I would tell him he should wear something more Oriental and live in a caravan driven by camels.
For this it is worthy to note Kafka, for worship of omorfia.

If he was White he would be more widely read and /pol/ would call him based

I genuinely believe that people would read him more if he was White, despite being right-wing. When I think of a writer who is only pushed for being of a minority background I think of someone like the girl who wrote Marrow Thief and other racist slop; Franz was the real deal

He's super popular, he's a modern classic. There are European authors who are also good and not as popular. Being European (or "white" as you Americans call it) doesn't really mean you will be more popular.

My take on Kafka was that his popularity is not sourced from his ethnicity but from his ability to capture certain feelings
>“I was ashamed of myself when I realised life was a costume party and I attended with my real face”
>“My peers, lately, have found companionship through means of intoxication--it makes them sociable. I, however, cannot force myself to use drugs to cheat on my loneliness--it is all that I have--and when the drugs and alcohol dissipate, will be all that my peers have as well.”
Asperger's feels like this, and currently asperger's is on the raise

He is already among the most popular writers if we consider actual literary writers. Second, he was not right-wing. He was a socialist or a type of anarcho-socialist.

I ain't Amerilard, groups like Jews and Lebanese are both considered Asian in my country and the Americans think they are White
But there is a large push of "Asian" writers lately and Kafka is never one of them despite actually having some substance to him and good prose >>24553516

He wrote in a European tongue, so he doesn't really belong to any "Asian" tradition.

The local academia calls it "an Asian text" or "an Indigenous text" etc because the person who wrote it was 5% non-European even if it was written by an assimilated person in English or German
