read them and find out

Kafka's work fills me with a kind of noxious anger I can hardly put to words. If this is intentional I suppose the man is a masterful aesthete.

I've actually read that edition of Turgenev's First Love. It was a pleasant read, and it really had a lasting effect on me at the time I was reading it.

just finished this. I love his dialogue. All stories I enjoyed but 1. but a few are much better than the rest.

Yes it is. His stories are funny and he would laugh when reading them to people. If you thought they're some dark humorless existential doomershit then you got memed or read a bad translation.

You should expect to not get them until the end of the month because their shipping is backed up and they're prioritizing essential items.

Normies dont understand Kafka and think its supposed to be humorous

I guess Kafka was a normie since he himself considered his work funny.
