Blue Octavo Notebooks by Franz Kafka
5.0
Oh, if only I could conjure the magic to revive Kafka so that he may finish some of these tales! What an excruciating tease this collection of notebooks is! and yet what a gift, too, to see how the mind of the author was always creating; always envisioning characters and circumstances. I may now forever feel something missing in my life never knowing if Anton's unabashed egotism will ever be justifiably crushed:
"'I'm sorry from the bottom of my heart that you have been pining for me. I have often looked with genuine sadness at your careworn face, when you were standing in the courtyard, gazing up at my window. Well, I am not unfavorably inclined to you, and though you may not yet have won my heart, you have a good chance at doing so.'"
