I didn’t understand most of his works and that’s already worthy of 5 stars!

I love his pieces that read like rhythmic spoken poetry. I feel his words, they don’t stay on the page.

Oczywiście nie wszystkie teksty są tak samo wyborne, ale ten zbiór to bajka dla fanów Kafki!

The first half of this collection would have got full marks, but, unfortunately, the second part is loaded with stories (unpublished during Kafka's lifetime and you got to wonder whether with good reason) that made it a chore to finish this book. Firstly because there is a huge amount of them, and secondly, because most of them just seem to be unfinished sketches.

This first part, however, is why you should read this book. Fantastic bizarre Kafka.

Buy the book; love the first part, and sample the second part. That's my advice.
