Remind me again why I'm not considered the best writer of all time without question?

I don't get it either.

There's a reason why ridiculously complicated and frustrating bureaucracies are called "Kafkaesque".

If you don't get pissed off reading The Castle, you really don't get it.

If you don't nervously lol hard while reading Kafka, you don't get Kafka.

Meh, I like him but he is somewhat overrated.

It's not.

If you don't lol hard then you don't know shit about Kafka.

If hard disks, tension, are not interested in reading Kafka, Kafka did not.

Ulysses is considered the logical conclusion of the novel form. It is a fad, and it indicates the age of those doing the ranking. When it is our chance, perhaps The Castle will be seen as number 1 (or maybe Twilight who knows?)

>> No.1067090

It's not. Gravity's Rainbow is.
