A review by kahell
A Hunger Artist and Other Stories by Franz Kafka

3.5

A little bit of everything from Kafka: short stories, aphorisms, flash fiction, the mini travelogues he loves so much. The first part of this collection (Four Stories) was considerably better than the later parts, with two of them (A Hunger Artist and Josefine the Singer) being two of the most poignant, albeit opposite, takes on artistry I have ever read. In the latter parts I liked A Country Doctor and A Report to an Academy.
