A review by kylejbartsch
Kafka in 90 Minutes by Paul Strathern

4.0

This book is exactly what it says, a biography of Franz Kafka read in 90 minutes. It succinctly tells the story and life of the titular author, going through his personal life as well as his works, delving into psycho-analytics of his writings. Due to the content and nature of the book, spoilers for his writings are prevalent so if you have a desire to read his books for yourself, I suggest doing so before reading this one, namely, the trial, investigations of a dog, the metamorphosis, the castle, letter to my father, and a smattering of his short stories.
Good little book about one of the greatest writers in modern history.
