Kafka shorts

May 15, 2009 21:22

Some of my favorite Kafka shorts. You should probably also check out Metamorphosis, The Hunger Artist, and In The Penal Colony. I haven't read any of his novels, so I can't speak for them, but I've read most of his Metamorphosis-and-shorter stuff. This collection contains all of the short stories, and leaves out only the novels. There's also a good intro by John Updike, but the binding is total crap and your book will split into pieces in no time. Anyway, the stories:

Before The Law (discussion is skip-worthy.)

An Imperial Message

Prometheus

Give It Up!

On Parables

And there you have it. Apparently, I don't have an inner child, but I do have an inner emo kid for reals.
