Letter to the Father/Brief an den Vater: Bilingual Edition (The
Schocken Kafka Library)
Sinopsis :
A son&#8217poignant letter to his father&#8212frm the author
of The Metamorphosis and The Trial, and one of the most
important writers of the twentieth century. &#8226&#8220Onof
the great confessions of literature.&#8221&#8212Th New York
Times Book Review Franz Kafka wrote this letter to his father,
Hermann Kafka, in November 1919. Max Brod,
Kafka&#8217literary executor, relates that Kafka actually gave
the letter to his mother to hand to his father, hoping it might
renew a relationship that had lost itself in tension and
frustration on both sides. But Kafka&#8217probing of the deep
flaw in their relationship spared neither his father nor himself.

He could not help seeing the failure of communication between
father and son as another moment in the larger existential
predicament depicted in so much of his work. Probably
realizing the futility of her son&#8217gesture, Julie Kafka did
not deliver the letter but instead returned it to its author.
