Franz Kafka

About Me

I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)(July 3 1883 - June 3 1924) One of the major fiction writers of the 20th century. He was born to a middle-class Jewish family in Prague, Austria-Hungary (now Czech Republic). His unique body of writing—much of which is incomplete and was published posthumously—is among the most influential in Western literature.[1] His stories, such as The Metamorphosis (1915), and novels, including The Trial (1925) and The Castle (1926), concern troubled individuals in a nightmarishly impersonal and bureaucratic world.
