Kafka | "What I touch, breaks."
"When it comes to the perfect example of how life and art align, Franz Kafka is that example."
Kafka's language is straightforward, cold, and painfully sharp, with a heavy dose of irony. His narratives jump and twist, defying traditional reading logic—complex, confusing, and often inaccessible. Reading Kafka is not for the faint-hearted. His stories are like absurd nightmares outside a dark, looming castle.
At the core of Kafka’s work lies a profound sense of compassion and fear. Yet, I firmly believe that his works still radiate an endless capacity for love, along with an unwavering commitment to ideals. Despite the harshness of the world, Kafka remains a hungry artist, one who died for his art.
Kafka’s works are nightmarish not only in content but also in structure. He creates a fully-formed world of alienation, exposing the deep flaws of modernity and capturing the illnesses of the modern age. His writing delves into the human condition in a way that reflects the universal struggles of people in today's world.
In today's age, we need Kafka more than ever. Through his avant-garde vision and a heart consumed by the flame of art, he predicted the social ills we still grapple with today. The struggles Kafka describes are, in fact, our struggles.
