Kafka is one of my favorite authors of all time.
Personally, i don't consider interpreting and overanalizing his work to be especially important.
I understand this is a bit of a controversial opinion, but the reason why i think that, is that i see Kafka as a purely a "technical" writer.

Essentially Kafka inspired me to linger over the minute details to a maniacal extent when describing a scene, or a place, a person, a series of events and so on.
He's one of the first, and best authors i've read that used an almost OCD level of focus over the small details when describing anything.
So essentially i appreciate him very much on a technical level but i don't really care about the metaphorical messages contained in them.
I personally also tend not to push some form of message in my work, but rather focus on sucking in the reader with autistic levels of details, i consider the minutiae more important than the bit picture as a whole, or at the very least, way more fun to write about.
