Lately I've been reading some books with snippets from Kafkas diaries and letters, and I think I like them even more than his books.

Tropolist says:

People wrote extensively those days, didn't they? If someone were to collect my notes and letters, they'd have about 6 pages of material, most of it would be emails to the extent of "Send me that draft you did last year." or "What bus should I take?"

what's the name of those books?

Tropolist says:

Some stuff is interspersed with collections of his short stories, some are in stand alone books. The former is more likely to be in the fiction section in books titled "[Name of story], and other short stories."

The latter is sometimes put in fiction, but more often can be found under Kafka in the biography section.

Vos actions vont peut-etre laisser de profondes traces dehors dans la neige de la cour mais pas davantage. / Your actions perhaps will leave outside deep traces in snows of the court but not more.

Just out of curiosity...is there a reason the name of the group is Fafka, and not Kafka?

Lol. And some months later, I realize I misspelled Kafka. Oh, how absurd.

Love In the Penal Colony the most. Did my thesis on it - mmm... and I think Kafka was pretty darned cute. :P
