One of the most moving and revealing works of Kafka
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
This is a letter never sent. It is written from Kafka the tormented son to his father Hermann. It tells of the relationship of father and son, as seen by the son. But a good part of the son's seeing is his understanding of his father, and his father's perception of and disappointment with him. It is an analysis of his father's life also , and in a way an attempt to make a kind of connection with the distant father the son has not really had in life. For anyone who has had a difficult father whose love and approval they so much longed for , and did not have - this work will be a soul- opening one. It is painful, deep, true and as with all Kafka somehow mysteriously deep and beautiful . A great great work of a great great genius.
Do not miss it!!!! Look for it everywhere!!

This little book, actually, "letter" will get to your heart. Its one of the most human prose I have ever read, the intimate conflits in a father-son relationship. No not stop until you find it, you will not regret it.
Captures the universal relationship between father and son
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
Definitely read this book if you can ever find it and if you like Kafka. It's a deeply personal, open-minded, unapologetically contradictory analysis of the relationship between one over-bearing, opinionated father and his timid son. One of the best books I've read
