不变形的卡夫卡 读《卡夫卡小说集》

Kafka Forever:Franz Kafka Das Erzahlerische Werk

世人对卡夫卡有两大误会。其一,卡夫卡是个诗人,被误会为小说家;其二,卡夫卡非常强大,是一个庞然大物,却被误会为柔弱无力。真正的卡夫卡,是这样一个不屈形象:'任何一个人,当你活着的时候应付不了生活,那么就用一只手拨开笼罩着你命运的绝望,同时,用另一只手草草记下你在废墟中看到的一切,因为,你与别人看到的不同,而且更多,总之,在你的有生之年,你已经死了,但你却是真正的获救者。'

As one of the greatest writers in Austria, Kafka was good at writing with deformed and absurd image and intuitive and symbolic techniques. His writing was clear with weird imagination with fable style often applied. Everyone has different understanding for the implied meaning behind the stories without final conclusion, In the 19th century, various writing genres recognized retroactively him as their avantcourier.
