Reader Reviews:
This is an intelligent and loving biography (9/10 people found this helpful)
You can almost forgive max brod for rifling through his friend's desk and then publishing everything in it against his friend's wishes, for when reading this biography it becomes apparent how much max brod adored kafka as a friend and as a writer. Although only a slim volume, it covers a large section of kafka's life in detail, much of which isn't apparent in his diaries. It also offers intelligent discussion on kafka's writing and how it could be seen as a reflection of how he lived. But best of all, this is a unique biography of kafka because it is written by someone who knew him exceptionally well and often more enjoyable than the detached intellectual analysis that is usually found on the subject of kafka.
