The Unhappiness of Being a Single Man: Essential Stories by Alexander Starritt, Franz Kafka

1.0

I adore short stories, and although I haven't enjoyed Kafka's longer work to date, I felt that reading him in a more accessible and varied form might make me warm to his prose. Sadly, this wasn't the case, and I have come to realise that he just isn't an author for me. I read the first four stories in this collection, but found them to be altogether too brief. They also ended quite abruptly, and did not satisfy me as a reader.
